[Python] TypeError 'module' object is not callable in Python

#python #typeerror

'module' object is not callable

-> when module name and class name are confused, this error raised

For example,

I have DBCM class inside dbcm.py and import DBCM class like this,

import dbcm # do something with dbcm with dbcm(slef.db_name, sql): .....
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It will raise that typeerror.

How to solve it,

Be clear which one is module and which one is class

from dbcm import DBCM as db_cm with db_cm(self.db_name, sql): ....
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Modified by Keoni Garner - Thank you!:

from dbcm import DBCM with DBCM(self.db_name, sql): ....
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
