“”" Hi, thanks for writing up the nice PEP spawning the lively discussion around callable modules.

The steering council has discussed this PEP and decided to Reject it. (as I mentioned we were leaning towards in [PEP 713: Callable Modules - #66 by gpshead](https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-713-callable-modules/26127/66))

We didn’t feel that there was a compelling reason to have it even though it clearly could be done from a consistency point of view. I wouldn’t be surprised if this idea comes up again in the future. If so, this is a useful prior discussion to refer to for when it does.

Tangentially related in the “modules gaining more dunder function abilities” theme… [a new proposal regarding ` __setattr__ ` and ` __delattr__ `](https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-726-module-setattr-and-delattr/32640) is now also being discussed.
