PluginIssue - see ​th:DiscussionPlugin.

[shubham_chakraborty@…]

I have setup discussion plugin on Apache-mod python + MYsql server and the Tracd standalone +Sqlite version. It gives the above error in Apache while it works perfectly on Tracd. What can be the problem??

If you have the exact same error, then it's still a PluginIssue, please read that page and report the issue to the plugin maintainer. Also, please use the MailingList and/or IrcChannel for installation support.

This error statement TypeError: 'module' object is not callable is raised as you are being confused about the Class name and Module name. The problem is in the import line . You are importing a module, not a class. This happennd because the module name and class name have the same name .

If you have a class MyClass in a file called MyClass.py, then you should import :

from MyClass import MyClass

In Python , a script is a module, whose name is determined by the filename . So when you start out your file MyClass.py with import MyClass you are creating a loop in the module structure….example

In Python, everything (including functions, methods, modules, classes etc.) is an object , and methods are just attributes like every others. So,there's no separate namespaces for methods. So when you set an instance attribute, it shadows the class attribute by the same name. The obvious solution is to give attributes different names.
