There's a big difference between   print_point() and   print time().

print_point() in your tutorial is a function, presumably defined 
someplace else.

You used print time(),  (no underscore), which uses the print statement, 
and tries to call a function called time().

Since you defined time as an instance of your class, and didn't do 
anything special, it's not callable.
