Question

For some reason I’m getting a module object is not callable error on this code. I don’t really get why? Whats going on and how do I fix it? 🙁

import time
start_time = time.time()
name = raw_input('What is your name')
end_time = time.time()
total_time=end_time-start_time
print total_time

and the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last): 
    File "time.py", line 1, in <module> 
import time File "/Users/Me/randomcode/time.py", line 2, in <module> 
    start_time = time.time() 
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Answer 1

Don’t call your own script file time.py … it’s importing itself!
