I'm trying to understand the meaning of __call__ (python3) . Wrote this to differentiate each method __init__ , __call__, and test method.
#!/usr/bin/python3
class thara(object):
def __init__(self):
print("init called")
def __call__(self):
print("call called")
def test(self):
print("test called")
x=thara() ### constructor calling here
x() ## __call__ calling here
x.test() ## test method calling here
my question is when i initiate the x.test(), why it is not calling __call__ ? what I'm thinking is, if i initiate the x.test() will initiate the instance x(), and it should call the __call__ method automatically.But according to my output __call__ will call only when initiate x().
can someone please explain.
https://docs.python.org/2/reference/datamodel.html#object.__call__
__call__ is called when instance is called like a function. And this is what you do with x(). x.test() is calling method of instance, not instance itself.
