If you really absolutely positively have to have the signature be correct for each instance, you may to either look at a 
function creating factory, a class creating factory, or a meta-class.  The first option may work if you don't need an 
actual class, both of the last two options will be creating different classes, probably with one instance each (unless 
you have several instances which could share the same __call__).
