TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

[Krishnan Shankar]

Hi,

The problem is in the second line.

a = time.daylight()

The daylight is not a method in time module. It is clear here,
http://docs.python.org/2/library/time.html

Since it is not a method we cannot call it. It is just a integer variable .
It returns zero if DST timezone is not defined and returns non zero if
defined.

>>> import time
>>> a = time.daylight()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
>>> a = time.daylight
>>> a
0
>>> type(time.daylight)
<type 'int'>

Regards,
Krishnan
