Supply us with just enough source code to actually try it, give the full 
error message including traceback, and tell us what you expected to 
see.  Also tell us Python version   (sys.version)

So far you've done none of these.  When I try the following, I get no 
errors, using Python 2.6.2


class _StreamFactory(object):

    @staticmethod
    def __call__(lines, source, join=''.join):

        class Line(object):

            __source = source
            __join = join
        return Line()


fact = _StreamFactory()
obj = fact(43, "name.txt")
print obj
