定义自定义__call__()方法允许将类的实例作为函数调用，而不总是修改实例本身。

In [1]: class A:
   ...:     def __init__(self):
   ...:         print "init"
   ...:         
   ...:     def __call__(self):
   ...:         print "call"
   ...:         
   ...:         

In [2]: a = A()
init

In [3]: a()
call

__init__将被视为构造函数，其中__call__方法可以被对象调用任意次数。__init__和__call__函数都接受默认参数。

__call__允许返回任意值，而__init__作为构造函数隐式返回类的实例。正如其他答案正确指出的那样，__init__只被调用一次，而__call__有可能被调用多次，以防初始化的实例被赋值给中间变量。

>>> class Test:
...     def __init__(self):
...         return 'Hello'
... 
>>> Test()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: __init__() should return None, not 'str'
>>> class Test2:
...     def __call__(self):
...         return 'Hello'
... 
>>> Test2()()
'Hello'
>>> 
>>> Test2()()
'Hello'
>>> 

第一个用于初始化新创建的对象，并接收用于初始化的参数:

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, a, b, c):
        # ...

x = Foo(1, 2, 3) # __init__

第二部分实现函数调用操作符。

class Foo:
    def __call__(self, a, b, c):
        # ...

x = Foo()
x(1, 2, 3) # __call__

我们可以使用调用方法来使用其他类方法作为静态方法。

class _Callable:
    def __init__(self, anycallable):
        self.__call__ = anycallable

class Model:

    def get_instance(conn, table_name):

        """ do something"""

    get_instance = _Callable(get_instance)

provs_fac = Model.get_instance(connection, "users")  

我将尝试用一个例子来解释这一点，假设您想从斐波那契数列中输出固定数量的项。记住斐波那契数列的前两项都是1。例:1,1,2,3,5,8,13 ....

您希望包含斐波那契数的列表只初始化一次，然后更新。现在我们可以使用__call__函数了。阅读@mudit verma的回答。这就像你希望对象作为函数可调用，但不是每次调用时都重新初始化。

Eg:

class Recorder:
    def __init__(self):
        self._weights = []
        for i in range(0, 2):
            self._weights.append(1)
        print self._weights[-1]
        print self._weights[-2]
        print "no. above is from __init__"

    def __call__(self, t):
        self._weights = [self._weights[-1], self._weights[-1] + self._weights[-2]]
        print self._weights[-1]
        print "no. above is from __call__"

weight_recorder = Recorder()
for i in range(0, 10):
    weight_recorder(i)

输出结果为:

1
1
no. above is from __init__
2
no. above is from __call__
3
no. above is from __call__
5
no. above is from __call__
8
no. above is from __call__
13
no. above is from __call__
21
no. above is from __call__
34
no. above is from __call__
55
no. above is from __call__
89
no. above is from __call__
144
no. above is from __call__

如果你观察到输出__init__只被调用了一次，那就是类第一次实例化的时候，后来对象被调用而没有重新初始化。
