Calling a method without parameters

If Builder() is a method without any parameter, is the following code:
...
Builder
...

calls the method Builder() ?

Thanks !

A method pertains to a class so you need to call it with the class reference: SomeClass.Builder. Furthermore, I think you still need the parentheses: SomeClass.Builder().

I think the method is belong to this classes. And there is no parentheses. That is why I ask...

No. Builder refers to the method object.

Builder() # calls the method

If you wanted to pass a method to another function how would you do it?

Code:

def f(draw_method):
    image = draw_method()
    # work with image

f(Builder)
