This is a perfect opportunity to give the reminder that the

Neat I didn't know\ that. How dioes Python equate a function object to a type? Is it hard wired?
No, you see it the wrong way !
"int" is a type, not a function ! But, in Python, types append to be callable (ie. to behave like functions). For example when you define a class Foo with :
class Foo:
def __init__(self):
passFoo is a type but you can also *call* Foo with :
f = Foo()
But this construct an object (and involves many function calls) and is not a "simple" function call.
So there is no need to hardwire that kind of things (even if it _may_ be hardwired to improve efficiency).
