For starters, you're not showing us any code.

The error message suggests that you have successfully imported
a module, and you then try to use the module as if it were a
callable.  That won't work: modules are not callable.

My crystal ball says that you may have been a Java programmer
in an earlier life.  In Java, a file must define exactly one
class, and the class must have the same name as the file.

Python is not Java.  In Python, a file may define one class,
or twenty, or none at all.  To avoid confusion, do not give
any of your classes the same name as any of your files.


Hope this helps,
