callable
A callable is an object that can be called, possibly with a set
of arguments (see :term:`argument`), with the following syntax::

callable(argument1, argument2, ...)

A :term:`function`, and by extension a :term:`method`, is a callable.
An instance of a class that implements the :meth:`~object.__call__`
method is also a callable.

callback

some point in the future.
