Python module not callable when importing getopt
Question: I am new to python and the getopt function. I am trying to import getopt,
however I run into an error.

My code is literally just:

    
    
    import getopt
    

and also tried

    
    
    from getopt import *   /// from getopt import getopt
    

Output below:

    
    
    python asdfasdf.py
    ARGV      : []
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "asdfasdf.py", line 1, in <module>
        import getopt
      File "/home/STUDENTS/~~/csc328/TCP/pyExample/getopt.py", line 12, in <module>
        'version=',
    TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
    

My python is 2.6 something and this was implemented in 2.3 I believe.

edit: I'm using unix


Answer: you might be have getotp module in your code. When you refere python third
party module, it try to import your module.

Pleas remove `getopt.py` in your example or rename it.
