which classes ? I see no class statement in your above pseudo-code.

Hmm. While technically, yes, Python classes are "callable" just like
functions are, this is mostly an implementation detail (or at least you
can consider it as such for now). Now from a conceptual POV, functions
and classes are quite different beasts.

Where did you get such "knowledge", if I may ask ? Looks like you need a
better source of informations !-)

Classes are used to define and create ('instanciate' in OO jargon)
objects. Usually, one first creates an object, then calls methods on
this object:
class Greeter(object):
def __init__(self, name, saywhat=None):
self.name = name
if self.saywhat is None:
self.saywhat = "Hello %(who)s, greetings from %(name)s"
else:
self.saywhat = saywhat
def greet(self, who):
return self.saywhat % dict(name=self.name, who=who)
bruno = Greeter('Bruno')
print bruno.greet('Jupiter')

Read a tutorial on OO ? Here's one:

In Python, everything you can name, pass to a function or return from a
function is an object.
