Re: [Python-ideas] Bring back callable()

Perhaps it should also be renamed iscallable() for consistency with isinstance() and issubclass() and to free up the nice name "callable" for user use.

Let's not. We shouldn't make it anymore difficult to cope with having a gap of no callable() by renaming it. Anyway, they're different kinds of words. "instance()" or "subclass()" wouldn't make any sense.
