I wrote a class, Univariate, that resides in a directory that is in my

to instantiate an object with that class like:
x = Univariate(a) # a is a list that is expected by the Univariate
class
python raises the TypeError: 'module' object is not callable. If I embed the
code of the Univariate class in my *.py file, there is no problem. Also, when
the class is imported and I do a
print dir(Univariate)
it does not print all the methods that are in the class, while if the class
code appears in my *.py file, all the methods are available and a list with the
correct methods are printed.
What gives?
I think you mat be confusing the class with the module.
When you write:
import Univariate
you're importing the module.
If the module is called "Univariate" and the class within the module is
called "Univariate" then you should either write:
import Univariate
x = Univariate.Univariate(a) # the class Univariate in the module
Univariate
or:
from Univariate import Univariate
x = Univariate(a)
Incidentally, it's recommended that module names use lowercase, so that
would be:
import univariate
x = univariate.Univariate(a)
or:
from univariate import Univariate
