Add "callable" to your list of search terms.
Python has the concept of "callable objects" and
you can call a callable by using parentheses.
You can also test whether an object is callable
or not:

for obj in list_of_objects:
     if callable(obj):
         print obj()      # call obj first
     else:
         print obj        # just use the obj value

HTH,
