python'int'对象不可调用

Question

I am getting the python error "TypeError: 'int' object is not callable", which I understand to mean that I am accidentally putting parentheses directly after a variable or something like that, but I don't see that in my code. My code is

numFather = random.randrange(0, 10)
numMother = random.randrange = 10 - numFather
print numFather
print numMother
child = []
childgen = []
for FatherCounter in range(0, numFather):
    child.append(FatherTraits[random.randrange(0,5)])
for MotherCounter in range(0, numMother):
    child.append(MotherTraits[random.randrange(0,5)])

The error is at

child.append(FatherTraits[random.randrange(0,5)])

If I comment that out it happens again at

child.append(MotherTraits[random.randrange(0,5)])

Anyone know what's going on?

Answer 1

Where you put

numMother = random.randrange = 10 - numFather

you have assigned the number 10 - numFather to random.randrange . So random.randrange is now a number, rather than a function. Whatever you were trying to do, this is not it.

Answer 2

I agree to @khelwood, random.randrange is being set to a integer value, but here are few other edits

The FatherTraits and MotherTraits, aren't defined. The code line child.append(FatherTraits[random.randrange(0,5)]) is calling the FatherTraits's random number and appending it to child.

So by defining FatherTraits and MotherTraits , your code should work.

import random

numFather = random.randrange(0, 10)
numMother = 10 - numFather

child = []
childgen = []

FatherTraits = ['a','b','c','e','f','g']
MotherTraits = ['u','v','w','x','y','z']


for FatherCounter in range(0, numFather):
    child.append(FatherTraits[random.randrange(0,5)])
for MotherCounter in range(0, numMother):
    child.append(MotherTraits[random.randrange(0,5)])
