'int' object is not callable... hmmm...

>>> 42()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#21>", line 1, in <module>
    42()
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

>>> divisor = 1
>>> sum = 42
>>> sum(divisor)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#26>", line 1, in <module>
    sum(divisor)
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

That must be it.
No debugging, just reading the error message and the code...
