Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: While "functions" may not be accurate anymore, they are all callables.
Historically, those callables were functions. Later on some of the built-ins were replaced with type objects. Regarding your last comment: It is common in Python to write "func()" for callables in Python. The "()" signal the callable property. ---------- nosy: +lemburg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
