You can make objects callable, but I don't know if that's the answer.
Calling a class object is how you construct instances, by the way...

An obvious Pythonic way of doing this is with default arguments, which
allows a call to omit some of the arguments defined for the function.

For example:

    def foo (arg1, arg2=None):
	if arg2 is None:
	   arg2 = raw_input ("please supply arg2: ")
