It's possible as long as the functions are accessed as attributes of 
some object -- it may be horrible, but you CAN, if you wish, write a
__getattribute__ for the "some object" to force any access to the
attribute to become a CALL to that attribute.

Thankfully, it at least can't be done for access to barenames.

You could, of course, wrap the function into an object (of the
same name if you wish) that calls it whenever "an attribute of that 
name" is accessed (SHUDDER).
