The first way to use it is with any type annotation: you just use it for documentation.

# int annotation
def add_1_to_number(x: int) -> int:
    return x + 1

# callable annotation
def printer(x: int, func: Callable[[int], int]) -> None:
    results = func(x)
    print(f"Your results: {results}")

These type annotations can help document and make editors parse your code to make suggestions/auto-complete work better.

The second way to use it is by creating a callable. A callable is an abstract base class that requires you to implement the __call__ method. Your new callable can be called like any function.

class Greeter(Callable):

    def __init__(self, greeting: str):
        self.greeting = greeting

    def __call__(self, name: str):
        print(f"{self.greeting}, {name}")


say_hello = Greeter("Hello") # say_hello looks like a function
say_hello("jim")  # Hello, jim
