Python Error: TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Question

Below is my code and the error I am getting

import requests
import BeautifulSoup
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

url = "http://www.indeed.com/jobs?  q=hardware+engineer&l=San+Francisco%2C+CA"

r = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content)

job_titles = soup.find_all("a", {"class", "jobtitle"})

print job_titles

Error I am getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "webscraping.py", line 13, in <module>
    job_titles = soup.find_all("a", {"class", "jobtitle"})
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

It seems like you're using BeautifulSoup 3 which does not have find_all, but only findAll.

Use findAll if you will use BeautifulSoup 3.

Or use BeautifulSoup 4 to use find_all:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

It shows that soup.find_all is None. Make sure that it's not none. Moreover, one more suspicious thing I notices in your code is imports

import BeautifulSoup
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

Make sure that you import any one of them and accordingly modify

soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content)

Below is working to me- jobtitle is class name of h2 not a. I am with bs4 '4.4.0'

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = "http://www.indeed.com/jobs?  q=hardware+engineer&l=San+Francisco%2C+CA"

r = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content)

job_titles = soup.find_all("h2", {"class", "jobtitle"})

for job in job_titles:
    print job.text.strip()
