As near as I can tell, a functor is just an object which is
callable like a function
I believe that's how they're defined in the C++ world, in which, of
course, functions aren't first-class objects...

Nitpick: what you are asking for is called a closure. "Functor"
means
something completely different.
I'm glad somebody else noticed this. I would have said something
about it
myself, except I wasn't entirely sure my understanding of functor is
correct. As near as I can tell, a functor is just an object which is
callable like a function without actually being implemented as a
function, e.g.:
class Functor:
def __call__(self):
return None
f = Functor()
result = f()
