Function Details: callable

Description

Returns True if the object argument appears callable, False if not.

Extended Description

The callable() function checks whether the object passed to it appears to be callable (i.e., can be called as a function). An object is considered callable if it's a function, a method, a class with a __call__ method, or an instance of a class with a __call__ method. Note that callable() returns True if the object appears callable, but calling the object may still fail.
