callable¶

Description¶

Returns a Boolean stating whether the object argument appears callable.

Syntax¶

callable (object)

object: Required. Any valid object.

Return Value¶

#TODO

Time Complexity¶

#TODO

Note¶

If callable() returns True, it is still possible that a call fails, but if it is False, calling object will never succeed. Note that classes are callable (calling a class returns a new instance); class instances are callable if they have a __call__() method.

Example¶

>>> def bar(): pass
...
>>> callable(bar)
True
>>> class foo: pass
...
>>> callable(foo)
True
>>> callable(10)
False
>>> callable('hello')
False
>>> callable(True)
False
