Django TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

Question

I'm getting the following error:

TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

response = receiver(signal=self, sender=sender, **named) File "/Users/user/Documents/workspace/LiveWireSMS/sms/models/message.py", line 156, in my_handler instance.charge = instance.length(instance.content)

From this snippet of code:

@receiver(pre_save, sender=Message)
def my_handler(sender, **kwargs):
    instance = kwargs['instance']
    if not instance.charge:
        instance.charge = instance.length(instance.content)

This is the function its calling:

@property
def length(self):
    return len(self.content) / 160 + 1

Could someone explain the error? Thank you.

You got this error because length returns an int object and you tried to call it.

instance.charge = instance.length # instead of instance.length(instance.content)
