That sounds a bit cruel.

You are trying to call an object, and that object is not callable.

Normally that error message should include the name of the type of the
object that is being abused....

>>> "hello"()
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: call of non-function (type string)

Either you truncated the message when you posted the message, or there
is something strange with the object's type.

Unless you are using a pre-release python 1.6 or 2.0 - If so the name
of your type might not get printed if it is unicode
