Description (last modified by alex)

Some objects are callable but have sub-attributes.
In my case the wtforms Label object.
I cannot access Label.text because Label is callable and the resulting str object has not the attribute text.
Please evaluate first the object fully and then check if object is callable. Elsewise the behaviour is inconsistent and confusing.

Sorry for the changes

Is it related to or a duplicate of #29306 and/or #15791. It's not clear to me exactly how your proposal would work and if it would be backwards compatible.

Closing as duplicate of #29306 and/or #15791.

(wtforms should be able to allow marking labels with do_not_call_in_templates to control the behaviour here.)
