Yes, I believe that pretending that functions are classes is a fairly common idiom in the stdlib and out, so I see no problem leaving them alone. We haven't had any complaints about the threading Event function yet either. :) Here's a complaint. It's surprising that you can't use Event et al with isinstance. This is something I'm sure a lot of people run into (I did, many years ago) when they start to use these APIs. Once you do figure out why it doesn't work, it's not clear how to do what you want, since Event is private.

Does anybody ever complain about not being able to use isinstance on twisted.application.Application? (At least it's documented as a function there.)
