Using the first answer to the following link Python: Writing Images and dataframes to the same excel file as a guide:
I have the following script in which I like to write a dataframe object to one sheet and a bunch of images to another sheet.
class name():
def some_func(self):
self.writer = pd.ExcelWriter('Name1',engine='xlsxwriter')
return
def write_excel(self):
self.df.to_excel(self.writer,sheet_name='Name',index=False, header=False)
self.writer.save()
return
def write_excel(self):
self.workbook = self.writer.book('Name1')
self.worksheet = self.writer.sheets(name='images')
images=[]
do some stuff
for i,image in enumerate(images):
self.worksheet.insert_image('D1',0,y_postn[i],image)
self.writer.save()
return
It returns the following error
'Workbook' object is not callable
Not sure how to interpret this error or fix it?...
The error comes from this line:
self.workbook = self.writer.book('Name1')
Book is an object, not a method and it has the following fields (__call__ is not one of them):

Here's the official example for how to use this API:
# Get the xlsxwriter objects from the dataframe writer object.
workbook = writer.book
worksheet = writer.sheets['Sheet1']
# Create a chart object.
chart = workbook.add_chart({'type': 'column'})
# Get the dimensions of the dataframe.
(max_row, max_col) = df.shape
# Configure the series of the chart from the dataframe data.
chart.add_series({'values': ['Sheet1', 1, 1, max_row, 1]})
# Insert the chart into the worksheet.
worksheet.insert_chart(1, 3, chart)
You are not supposed to call workbooks or sheets as if they are functions. You access functions within them such as .add_chart or .insert_chart.
How do you get your hands on a spreadsheet with books and sheets in it in the first place? Like this:
# Create a Pandas dataframe from the data.
df = pd.DataFrame({'Data': [10, 20, 30, 20, 15, 30, 45]})
# Create a Pandas Excel writer using XlsxWriter as the engine.
writer = pd.ExcelWriter('pandas_simple.xlsx', engine='xlsxwriter')
# Convert the dataframe to an XlsxWriter Excel object.
df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name='Sheet1')
# Get the xlsxwriter objects from the dataframe writer object.
workbook = writer.book
worksheet = writer.sheets['Sheet1']
You also have the option of accessing the xlswriter APIs directly without going through pandas (but I don't see why you would in your particular case):
workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook('filename.xlsx')
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()
Have a look at the official documentation - it's full of clear examples.
