Re: [Python-Dev] Dinamically set __call__ method

This list is for the development _of_ Python, not development _with_ Python.

Try asking on Python List.

In 2.7 that would be a classic class, about which I know little.

In 3.x you have a new class, one which inherits from 'object'.  When you replace __call__ you need to replace it the 
class, not on the instance:

   setattr(__self__.__class__, self.newcall)
