'str' object is not callable TypeError

Question

In my code I am trying to extract some data from a file. I am getting this error when I am trying to run my code on line 61. My code here: ``` from datetime import date from math import floor; from adjset_builder import adjset_builder def check_and_update(d,start,end,log): # print start,end; if start in d: if end in d[start]: log.write("{0}-{1}
".format(start, end)) if d[start][end] == 1: print "one found" d[start][end] += 1 def build_dictionary(my_adjset,my_list,factor,outfile,log): log.write("building dictionary:
"); window_size = int(floor(len(my_list)*factor)); if window_size<2: log.write("too small
") return; log.write('Total:{0},windowsize:{1}
'.format(len(my_list),window_size)); log.write("Window at place: 0,") for i in xrange(window_size): j = i+1; while j<window_size: check_and_update(my_adjset, my_list[i][1], my_list[j][1],log); j=j+1 i=1; while i<=len(my_list)-window_size: log.write("{0},".format(i)) j=i; k=i+window_size-1; while j<k: check_and_update(my_adjset, my_list…

Accepted Answer

This makes `date` a function:

```
from datetime import date
```

This makes `date` a string:

```
        [user_id,date] = i.split(' ');
```

You get a `TypeError` now, since `date` is no longer a function:

```
mylist.append([date(int(yy),int(mm),int(dd)),user_id]); 
```

One way to avoid this error is to import modules instead of functions:

```
import datetime as dt
mylist.append([dt.date(int(yy),int(mm),int(dd)),user_id])
```

or more succinctly,

```
mylist.append([dt.date(*date.split('-')), user_id])
```

PS: Remove all those unnecessary semicolons!
