I am getting these errors sometimes from my program (which has also started crashing/closing on me without any error messages)

These errors appear to be from inside the whrandom, what can I do?

[halley]

That module defines a class called whrandom. You must create an instance of the whrandom class, and then that instance can provide a stream of numbers. This works a bit differently from a simple function.

import whrandom
rng = whrandom.whrandom()
for loop in range(10):
    num = rng.randrange(1, 5)
    print num

This is a complete example. It loads the whrandom module. It creates an instance of the whrandom class, and we refer to it with the variable "rng". The instance decides on a seed to begin automatically. It then uses that instance to fetch new random numbers. Keep the instance for as long as you need to generate numbers.

Thank you. I changed the whrandom, but I still get the same error from a different source (viz.py and vizmat.py and vizact.py)

I just got an error even with the whrandom change...

rand = whrandom.whrandom()

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "DecisonMaking.py", line 1114, in timer
viz.starttimer( TIMER_BLINK_CLOSE[ i ], rand.randrange( 3, 7 ) )
File "C:\Program Files\Vizard25\bin\lib\whrandom.py", line 115, in randrange
return istart + int(self.random() *
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

Help?

[Gladsomebeast]

The “TypeError: 'int' object is not callable” error message indicates that python expected a function in the place of an int object type. Perhaps there is a variable named int like in the following code.

import viz
viz.go()

int = 4
print int(1.1)

[enkeli]

In my code, there are no variables named "int"

[Gladsomebeast]

Guess I am a little stumped without your complete code context. I suggest that you focus your debuging on the fact that you are getting a Type Error. You could also try utilizing the newer ‘random’ module instead of whrandom.

[enkeli]

Thank you for responding. The trouble with debugging is the fact that this is an intermittent problem which does not occur every time the code is run. And as in one of the earlier posts, the 'int' object not callable error occurs with other modules than just the whrandom.

I had the same problem. My mistake was to have declared use the name "range" as a variable before I called the function range(10).
