Sure. But is that Python? You know in Ruby you wouldn't need the parens? It would work nicely for the sleep and dont_care methods since you're not passing any arguments.

I personally like the visual distinction between properties and methods. But it's purely a stylistic choice.

Having an implicit "self" parameter for functions defined within "class Foo:" would be nice though.

To be honest, at first I also didn't like the lack of visual distinction between properties and methods but now I just like the fact that I don't have to type the extra characters. The implicit self is nice too.

Really, if you're not passing functions more often than you call them, you're missing out. :)
