由于未知原因，无法使用 pip 安装软件包

Question

I am new to coding, and am trying to install matplotlib to help with a school project. I have installed packages using pip before, and I've never had any problem until now, when it says. I'm sure it's blindingly obvious but as I said I'm very new. Thank you

C:\Users\kiran>pip install matplotlib
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Answer 1

The error TypeError: 'module' object is not callable is an error message that occasionally occurs from a common typo of forgetting parens at the end of a method call or class instantiation. Ie

import MyClass
o = MyClass
#instead of 
o = MyClass()
# OR
var = o.MyMethod
# Instead of
var = o.MyMethod()
