Dare I suggest you convince Guido not to remove callable(), then? That is,
after all, what this discussion is about. You might want to think about the
removal of isSequence and isMapping too; see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2006-April/001256.html . I
don't care about the removal of either callable or isSequence/isMapping
(although the non-public, small-scale, unimpressing API's I design certainly
don't use them), but Guido put them on the list, so apparently he does.
