Reshape Numpy Array: 'list' object is not callable












-2














I have a method, get_input_representation that returns a numpy array



np.array = input_stack + input_buffer 


return np.array


In another a different part of the program, I call the above method, save its return value and reshape it.



state_rep = self.extractor.get_input_representation(words, pos, state)
reshaped_state = np.array(state_rep).reshape(-1,6)


However, I get:




reshaped_state = np.array(state_rep).reshape(-1,6) TypeError: 'list'
object is not callable




I have also tried:



 reshaped_state = np.array(self.extractor.get_input_representation(words, pos, state)).reshape(-1,6)


But I get the same list object is not callable. Where is the error in my code and how can I go about fixing it?

    You imported numpy as np. np.array is a function that is used to create a numpy array (class ndarray). But you then rename this np.array = .... Now it no longer is a function, but the result of that first line. The original np.array function is no longer available.

I think you should not be assigning default Numpy methods to a variable (even if it is inside a function) ie instead of np.array = input_stack + input_buffer and then return np.array you should have return input_stack + input_buffer in your function

    Would you need brackets instead of parens?



    np.array[state_rep].reshape(-1,6)


    I think you are trying to index into the np array right?

      You shouldn't assign it to np.array, try just creating a basic variable like output_list or something and then returning that.
