title: Error : List object is not callable
body: <p>This is the code that I have written in Enthought Canopy to adjust the axes:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import numpy as np
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  from scipy.stats import norm
  
  x = np.arange(-3,3,0.001)
  axe = plt.axes()
  axe.set_xlim([-5, 5])
  axe.set_ylim([0, 1.0])
  axe.set_xticks([-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
  axe.set_yticks([0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0])
  plt.plot(x, norm.pdf(x))
  plt.plot(x, norm.pdf(x, 1.0, 0.5))
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I am getting the following error :</p>
  
  <pre><code> %run "c:\users\tejpal\appdata\local\temp\tmppdy2am.py"
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ----&gt; 7 axe.set_xlim([-5, 5])
        8 axe.set_ylim([0, 1.0])
        9 axe.set_xticks([-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

  <p>Please help me with this!</p>
