Using the func%(args) syntax is not possible because fab = foo%(1,2) is equivalent to fab = foo.__mod__((1,2)) It might actually be possible to overload the % operator to make something that looks like your proposed syntax (without changing the actual Python syntax), but it still look hackish to me. (We are also moving away from the % overload used by strings for the formatting in favor of the .format() method.)
