Doesn't this suck big time? How can the interpreter tell whether you
are trying to call a function or just want a reference to a callable
object?

I dunno. It just doesn't seem likely that people who have "got" Python
would switch to ruby. If the extra features of ruby were really
worthwhile, they would be added to Python (which has happened
before). I trust the Py development team to do the right decision at
all times (apart from ternary operator, obviously ;-).
