TypeError: 'str' object is not callable (Python)

Question

Code:

import urllib2 as u
import os as o
inn = \'dword.txt\'
w = open(inn)
z = w.readline()
b = w.readline()
c = w.readline()
x = w.readline         


        

Answer 1

This is the problem:

global str

str = str(mar)

You are redefining what str() means. str is the built-in Python name of the string type, and you don't want to change it.

Use a different name for the local variable, and remove the global statement.
