def wrap(f):
    class w:
        def __init__(self,f):
            self.f = f
        def __repr__(self):
            rtn=apply(self.f)
            repr(rtn) and ""
            return rtn
        def __call__(self,*args,**kw):
            rtn = apply(self.f,args,kw)
            return(rtn)
    return w(f)

#==============END wrap ============================

The following example will show the use of wrap(f):

>>>def testwrap():
      print "This is a test of wrap\n"



>>>test = wrap(testwrap)

>>>test
   This is a test of wrap
