Wesley said that function objects have a "heaping distinction" of being callable. Only he can say for sure what that means; I took it to mean that being callable is a very special property, perhaps one that only function objects have. I just wanted to point out that there is nothing really very special about that property, any more than being iterable or having a length or a string representation or any of the other properties that are implemented with special methods. > Are there function > objects that aren't callable? Not that I can think of off-hand though maybe there is some pathological case... > Your example is a callable object that isn't a > function, right? Yes, my point is that it is very easy to create such an object. Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
