Python TypeError: ‘DataFrame’ object is not callable (2 Examples)

In this post, I’ll demonstrate how to handle the “TypeError: ‘DataFrame’ object is not callable” in the Python programming language.

Example Data

import pandas as pd                         # Import pandas
my_df = pd.DataFrame({'A':range(10, 17),    # Constructing a pandas DataFrame
                      'B':[1, 8, 3, 5, 7, 9, 1],
                      'C':range(28, 21, - 1)})
print(my_df)
#     A  B   C
# 0  10  1  28
# 1  11  8  27
# 2  12  3  26
# 3  13  5  25
# 4  14  7  24
# 5  15  9  23
# 6  16  1  22

Example 1: Replicating the TypeError: ‘DataFrame’ object is not callable

my_df('B').var()                            # Parantheses do not work
# TypeError: 'DataFrame' object is not callable

Example 2: Fixing the TypeError: ‘DataFrame’ object is not callable

my_df['B'].var()                            # Square brackets work fine
# Out[16]: 10.80952380952381
