TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Question

File \"C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Documents\\Mibot\\oops\\blinkserv.py\", line 82, in __init__
    self.serv = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
TypeError: \'module\' objec         


        

Answer 1

It seems like what you've done is imported the socket module as import socket. Therefore socket is the module. You either need to change that line to self.serv = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM), as well as every other use of the socket module, or change the import statement to from socket import socket.

Or you've got an import socket after your from socket import *:

>>> from socket import *
>>> serv = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
>>> import socket
>>> serv = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
