Functional Behavior of an Object

Learn how to make Python objects behave like functions by implementing the __call__ method and using the callable() function. Understand callable objects, how to detect them, and how this functional behavior can enhance your Python programming skills.

We'll cover the following...

In the beginning of this chapter, we covered in detail that functions are objects, but the reverse isn’t true. Not every object is a function, but Python allows us to use callable objects. It means that an object can behave like a function. Let us dive into the details to see how this is possible.
