    Which function self? Please share the code where you found that function. Perhaps, your question is very contextual and you have not provided the context. – Abdou Nov 29 '16 at 12:15

there isn't a self function in basic Python.

In [1072]: self()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1072-588c94f54e14> in <module>()
----> 1 self()

NameError: name 'self' is not defined

self is commonly used in object code to refer to the object itself. But that would be a function or callable only if the object itself is one.

We can't really answer the question without seeing some of the code where you see this used.
