I am new in Python, I wanna install Jupyter Notebook in my console I enter the following:
pip3 install --upgrade pip
after that I have a error to use pip3 install other library, the console print:
File "/usr/bin/pip3", line 11, in <module> sys.exit(main()) TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
I don't know what I have to do.
I use sudo autoremove python3-pip
after that I use sudo apt install python3-pip
The Python "TypeError: 'module' object is not callable" occurs when we import a module as import some_module but try to call it as a function or class. To solve the error, use dot notation to access the specific function or class before calling it, e.g. module. my_func() .
You can use the functions such as factorial(), floor() and fabs() within this module. But if you try using a function with name math(), the compiler will be confused. It will throw an error called TypeError 'module' object is not callable in Python.
From the link by Bram, I just ran python3 -m pip uninstall pip
, and it started to work again.
The solution which worked for my situation is simply editing the pip3.8 file in the ubuntu environment.
Method1:
#!/path/to/.venv/bin/python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import re import sys from pip._internal.main import main # <--- look at this import statement! if __name__ == '__main__': sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0]) sys.exit(main())
method2:
The main function has to be imported or we can simply replace line
sys.exit(main())
As
sys.exit(main.main())
