Yes indeed, that's one way but I wouldn't want to monkeypatch the `callable` builtin. People wouldn't expect that library would even dare monkeypatch builtin.

Proxies are a bit of a pain.  But you can create your own callable function.

Something like (untested):

def callable(obj):
    try:
        func = obj.__call__
        return True
    except AttributeError:
        return False
