AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'save' - Python PIL QR Code not saving

Question

I'm a newcomer to programming so i apologize for my lack of technical ability.

I'm trying to create a qrcode generator in python, however, when i try to increment the number on the filename save, i get this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sam/Desktop/QR Code Gen/run.py", line 52, in <module>
    purchase_code_fn()
  File "/home/sam/Desktop/QR Code Gen/run.py", line 32, in purchase_code_fn
    qr_code_fn()
  File "/home/sam/Desktop/QR Code Gen/run.py", line 41, in qr_code_fn
    im.save("filename"+ count + ".png")
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'save'
>>> 

Is there anyway to rectify this?

(see below for my full code - it's still a WIP)

from qrcode import *
import csv
import time


active_csv = csv.writer(open("active_codes.csv", "wb"))  
void_csv = csv.writer(open("void_codes.csv", "wb"))

active_csv.writerow([
    ('product_id'),
    ('code_id'),
    ('customer_name'),
    ('customer_email'),
    ('date_purchased'),
    ('date_expiry')])

void_csv.writerow([
    ('code_id'),
    ('customer_email'),
    ('date_expiry')])




count = 0

def purchase_code_fn():
                  global count
                  count =+ 1
                  customer_email = raw_input("Please enter your email: ")
                  product_id = raw_input("Which product would you like (1 - 5): ")
                  qr_code_fn()


def qr_code_fn():
                  qr = QRCode(version=5, error_correction=ERROR_CORRECT_M)
                  qr.add_data("asaasasa")
                  qr.make() # Generate the QRCode itself
                  # im contains a PIL.Image.Image object
                  im = qr.make_image
                  im.save("filename"+ count + ".png") 

def restart_fn():
                  restart_prompt = raw_input("Would you like to purchase another code? : ").lower()
                  if restart_prompt == "yes" or restart_prompt == "y":
                      purchase_code_fn()

                  elif restart_prompt =="n" or restart_prompt == "no":
                      print("exit")


purchase_code_fn()

Answer 1

The error is here : im = qr.make_image. You are storing into im the function make_image of object qr. As you can store functions in variables in Python, this is a valid syntax.

So, you are not calling the function make_image, just storing it. It should be im = qr.make_image().
