It depends on whether you're keeping the "callable" object around or not. Somebody could add a __call__ method later.

Good point. Removing the check sounds like the right thing to do, then.

Both classmethod & staticmethod are documented as having a *function* (callable, as I interprete that) as their single argument. Seems reasonable to me. Turning the argument into a function after the fact seems like a really esoteric use case.
