英文文档：

callable(object)

　　Return  if the object argument appears callable,  if not. If this returns true, it is still possible that a call fails, but if it is false, calling object will never succeed. Note that classes are callable (calling a class returns a new instance); instances are callable if their class has a  method.

说明：

　　1. 方法用来检测对象是否可被调用，可被调用指的是对象能否使用()括号的方法调用。

>>> callable(callable)

True

>>> callable(1)

False

>>> 1()

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>

1()

TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

>>>

　　2. 可调用对象，在实际调用也可能调用失败；但是不可调用对象，调用肯定不成功。

　　3. 类对象都是可被调用对象，类的实例对象是否可调用对象，取决于类是否定义了__call__方法。

>>> class A: #定义类A    pass>>> callable(A) #类A是可调用对象True>>> a = A() #调用类A>>> callable(a) #实例a不可调用False>>> a() #调用实例a失败Traceback (most recent call last):  File "
