I understand that. However, PEP 8 states "Names that are visible to the user as public parts of the API should follow conventions that reflect*usage* rather than*implementation*." (My emphasis) I quoted this, but you cut that part of my post.
I'm not the one who previously replied to your earlier post, but I still don't really understand what the relevance of this is. EVERY class can be used like a function (barring perhaps a few oddities like None). So the fact that you see a name used like `str(this)` or `list(that)` or `some_name(a, b, c)` doesn't tell you anything about "usage". That syntax is completely consistent with usage as a class and as a function. -- Brendan Barnwell "Do not follow where the path may lead.
