In Python 2.2, yes.

In Python 2.1.x, callable built-in objects don't necessarily have a
__call__ attribute.  Example:

Python 2.1.3 (#8, Oct  1 2002, 10:44:41) 
[GCC 2.95.3 19991030 (prerelease)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> callable(len)
1
>>> len.__call__
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: __call__
>>>
