TypeError：str对象不可调用

Question

This is my code:

fi=tarfile.open(os.path.join(pathin,file_in),'r')
list-fi.getmembers()
entries_list[]
for lis in list:
    name_list=lis.name()
    entries_list.append(name_list)
print entries_list.

At the line name_list=lis.name() , I'm getting the error str object is not callable . Could you explain why?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

lis.name is a string, so lis.name() tries to call this string. Because strings aren't callable, you get the error str object is not callable .
