callable(object)

Parameters¶

• callable() takes a single object as an argument.

Return Value¶

• Returns True if the object is callable; otherwise, it returns False.

Examples¶

callable(sum)  # True
callable(int)  # True
callable(1)    # False

Classes are callable, and calling a class creates an instance. Class instances are callable if the class defines the __call__ method.

The function was removed in version 3.0 and reintroduced in version 3.2.
