Objects in Python

Python functions have attributes, and that those attributes are available at
runtime.
A function, like everything else in Python, is an object.Once you import a module, you can reference any of its public functions, classes, or attributes.
Modules can do this to access functionality in other modules, and you can do it in the IDE too. This is an important concept, and you’ll talk more about it later.Everything in Python is an object, and almost everything has attributes and methods. All functions have a built−in attribute __doc__, which returns the doc string defined in the function’s source code. The sys module is an object which has (among other things) an attribute called path. And so forth.Still, this begs the question. What is an object? Different programming languages define “object” in different ways. In some, it means that all objects must have attributes and methods; in others, it means that all objects are subclassable.In Python, the definition is looser; some objects have neither attributes nor methods , and not all objects are subclassable. But everything is an object in the sense that it can be assigned to a variable or passed as an argument to a function.
