Comparison with callable

This message is emitted when pylint detects that a comparison with a callable was made, which might suggest that some parenthesis were omitted, resulting in potential unwanted behaviour.

Noncompliant Code:

Copy
foo = True
def bar():
    pass
if foo == bar:
    pass

Compliant Code:

Copy
foo = True
def bar():
    pass
if foo == bar():
    pass
