How can I find the superclass of a Function Object in Python?

Question

So if I code:

a=False
print(type(a))
print(bool.mro())

The result is:

<class 'bool'>
[<class 'bool'>, <class 'int'>, <class 'object'>]

What works perfectly well in my point of view, although, if I run the following code I get an error:

def F():
  pass
print(type(F))
print(function.mro())

The error:

<class 'function'>
NameError: name 'function' is not defined

how is " function" not defined since it says that is a class?

Answer 1

Your first lines of code work because bool is a builtin function This is not the case for function
