TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Hi @Umesh-JNU

Thank you for your report.

I notice that you're directly calling a function called bucket(). This library, excitertools does not have such a free-standing function. I assume you're talking about more-itertools.bucket(), which is over here: https://github.com/more-itertools/more-itertools

Nevertheless, I looked into this, using both more-itertools and this library, excitertools. In fact, excitertools simply wraps many of the functions in more-itertools so we would expect the same behaviour in both.

To try to reproduce your example, I did this:

more-itertools

>>> iterable = ['a1', 'b1', 'c1', 'a2', 'b2', 'c2', 'b3']
>>> key = lambda x: x[0]                                 
>>> s = more_itertools.bucket(iterable, key=key)         
>>> sorted(s)                                            
['a', 'b', 'c']                                          
>>> list(s['a'])                                         
['a1', 'a2']            

excitertools

>>> iterable = ['a1', 'b1', 'c1', 'a2', 'b2', 'c2', 'b3']
>>> b = Iter(iterable).bucket(key=lambda x: x[0])        
>>> sorted(b)                                            
['a', 'b', 'c']                                          
>>> list(b['a'])                                         
['a1', 'a2']                                             

Thus, I did not get the error in either case.

Looking more closely at your code, the line that complains is this:

s = bucket(iterable, key=lambda x: x[0])

And the error message given is that 'str' object is not callable. The only thing on that line appears to be callable is the identifier bucket, which makes me think that somehow your identifier bucket has somehow been initialised as a string, and not the function from more-itertools.

If you could provide a short, self-contained example of code that I can run, and produce the error, that will help. Please do not link to a notebook.

Thanks for your reply. I got it. My mistake. Should I delete the issue?

No worries, I can just close it here 👍🏼
