typeerror: 'list' object is not callable in python

This error occurs when you try to call a list as a function. To solve this error, check your code for any instance where you are trying to call a list as a function.

Here's an example code that reproduces this error:

main.py
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
result = my_list('index')
print(result)
60 chars
4 lines

Output:

main.py
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable
41 chars
2 lines

In this example, we are trying to call our list my_list with a parameter 'index', which is not allowed in a list. Hence, we get the above error.

To fix this, we need to ensure that we use valid list operations on my_list. For example, if we want to access an element of the list at a given index, we can use the square bracket notation instead:

main.py
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
result = my_list[1]
print(result)
54 chars
4 lines

Output:

main.py
2
2 chars
2 lines

Here, we access the element at index 1 of my_list using square brackets, which is a valid list operation.
