Making Non Callable Objects Callable

[exiquio]

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to make an object in
python callable, modules in particular. I wrongly assume that defining
'__call__' in the the objects __dict__ would work. Any help would be
appreciated.

No, that doesn't work. Several magic methods (__*__) aren't looked up in
__dict__ or through __getattr__().
