I can't point to exactly what your error is, because you've stripped 
off the rest of the traceback stack, but I can tell you what that 
error means and you can probably figure out the rest for yourself. 
You're trying to call a module object as if it were a function, and 
that's not working.  Probably you're importing a module that has the 
same name as a function or class; when you think you're calling that 
function (or instantiating that class), Python thinks that you're 
referring to the imported module instead.  If you carefully check 
through your code (especially the code indicated by the traceback) and 
remove any name conflicts, you should be good.
