2.1.7.3 Functions

Function objects are created by function definitions. The only operation on a function object is to call it: `func(argument-list)`.

There are really two flavors of function objects: built-in functions and user-defined functions. Both support the same operation (to call the function), but the implementation is different, hence the different object types.

The implementation adds two special read-only attributes: `f.func_code` is a function's code object (see below) and `f.func_globals` is the dictionary used as the function's global name space (this is the same as `m.__dict__` where m is the module in which the function f was defined).
