A class of pointers that are callable

A CallablePointer is an ObjectPointer which implements the __call__ function. This lets you execute a command directly on the object to which it points.

__call__(self, *args, **kwargs)
syft.generic.pointers.callable_pointer.create_callable_pointer(location: BaseWorker, id: str or int, id_at_location: str or int, owner: BaseWorker, tags, description, garbage_collect_data: bool = True, register_pointer: bool = True) → ObjectPointer

Creates a callable pointer to the object identified by the pair (location, id_at_location).

Note, that there is no check whether an object with this id exists at the location.
