Python 2.7.8 TypeError: 'unicode' object is not callable

Question

I am running python version 2.7.8. I am storing project titles in a sqlite database that I am trying to import into a combobox. When I try and import the project titles from the sqlite database and import them into the combobox I get this error: TypeError: 'unicode' object is not callable

Here is my code:

main.py

from EvDB import EvDB
import wx
from ProjectsPanel import ProjectsPanel

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    """ We simply derive a new class of Frame. """
    def __init__(self, parent, ID, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, ID, title=title, size=(650,725))

        # Create Database Tables
        self.db = EvDB(self)
        self.db.createTbls()

        main = wx.Panel(self)

        self.projectsPg = ProjectsPanel(main, -1)

        self.mainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        self.mainSizer.Add(self.projectsPg, 1, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND)


        main.SetAutoLayout(True)
        main.SetSizer(self.mainSizer)
        self.mainSizer.Fit(main)
        self.Layout()
        self.Show()

        self.UserID = 1
        rows = self.db.getProjects(self.UserID)

        print(rows)
        print(str(rows))

        self.projectsPg.cb.Value(rows)

app = wx.App(False)

ProjectsPanel.py

import wx
from EvDB import EvDB
import sqlite3 as lite

class ProjectsPanel(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent, ID):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, ID)

        self.db = lite.connect('evDB.db')
        self.cur = self.db.cursor()
        self.db2 = EvDB(self)

        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)

        # the combobox Control
        self.userProjects = ['Before1','Before2', 'Before3', 'Before4']
        self.cb = wx.ComboBox(self, value='New', choices=self.userProjects, style=wx.CB_DROPDOWN)

        sizer.Add(self.cb, 0, wx.EXPAND)

        # Setting Layouts
        self.SetAutoLayout(True)
        self.SetSizer(sizer)
        sizer.Fit(self)

EvDB.py

import sqlite3 as lite

class EvDB():
    def __init__(self, parent):
        self.db = lite.connect('evDB.db')
        self.cur = self.db.cursor()

    def createTbls(self):

        self.db.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Projects
                        (ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
                        Title varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
                        DateCreated DATE);''')

        self.db.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS User_x_Project
                        (ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
                        UserID INT DEFAULT NULL,
                        ProjectID INT DEFAULT NULL);''')


    def getProjects(self,userID):
        self.cur.execute("SELECT Title FROM User_x_Project, Projects WHERE User_x_Project.UserID = "+str(userID)+" AND User_x_Project.ProjectID = Projects.ID;")
        rows = self.cur.fetchall()

        return rows

the print results: [(u'Tests',), (u'Test1',), (u'Test2',), (u'Test3',)]

How do I add the titles stored in my sqlite database to my combobox?

Thank you for any and all help!

EDIT: Here is my entire traceback

Answer 1

self.projectsPg.cb is a ComboBox object, and Value is a property. If you access the property without assignment it will return a string (or unicode). You can't call it.

If you want to set a value to the combox, use property assignment (ComboBox.Value =), or ComboxBox.SetValue:

In addition to that, the rows returned by Cursor.fetchall is a list of tuples. You need to fetch the first one. (In the following example, I omitted return row count check for brevity)

self.projectsPg.cb.Value = rows[0][0]

# OR

self.projectsPg.cb.SetValue(rows[0][0])
