Sorry - after a more careful re-read of other posts in the thread, it 
might make sense, given the use case :

condition = FolderInUse(core)
if condition.true_for(folder):
    # code here


but then, a plain function (or a partial) might be even better - that 
is, if the FolderInUse class doesn't have other responsabilities.
