It is strange behaviour, though, considering

 >>> class C:
...  pass
...
 >>> type(C).__dict__.keys()
['__delattr__', '__setattr__', '__repr__', '__call__', '__str__', 
'__getattribute__', '__new__']

so according to C's type, it *should* have a __call__ method.
I'm not sure exactly what's going on here.
