Comment (by cronywalls):
This error statement [http://net-informations.com/python/iq/typeerror.htm
TypeError]: 'module' object is not callable is raised as you are being
confused about the Class name and Module name. The problem is in the
import line . You are importing a module, not a class. This happend
because the module name and class name have the same name .
If you have a class "MyClass" in a file called "MyClass.py" , then you
should import :
{{{
from MyClass import MyClass
}}}
In Python , a script is a module, whose name is determined by the filename
. So when you start out your file MyClass.py with import MyClass you are
creating a loop in the module structure.
In Python, everything (including functions, methods, modules, classes
etc.) is an object , and methods are just attributes like every others.
So,there's no separate namespaces for methods. So when you set an instance
attribute, it shadows the class attribute by the same name. The obvious
solution is to give attributes different names.
