TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable when accessing api.feeds.get()

[chrismyers81]

Hi all,

I'm running Python 2.7.3 on my new BeagleBone Black rev. C.; the code I'm trying to use to connect, following the rPI documentation (https://xively.com/dev/tutorials/pi/), but I've been hitting a number of random problems as I've gone along. This is the code I'm using (most of the error catching has been removed so that I can get the full stack traces when it yaks) :

#!/usr/bin/python

import serial 
import datetime
import requests
import xively

FEED_ID = 'my_feed_id'
API_KEY = 'my_key'

device = '/dev/ttyO4' #this will have to be changed to the serial port you are using
try:
  print "Trying...",device 
  arduino = serial.Serial(port=device,\
    baudrate=115200,\
    parity=serial.PARITY_NONE,\
    stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE,\
    bytesize=serial.EIGHTBITS,\
    timeout=None) 
except: 
  print "Failed to connect on",device

print "Connected to ",device

print "Initializing xively API client"
api = xively.XivelyAPIClient(API_KEY)

def get_datastream(feed,sensorNum):
  try:
    datastream = feed.datastreams.get(sensorNum)
    return datastream
  except:
    datastream = feed.datastreams.create(sensorNum)
    return datastream

while True:
  line = arduino.readline()
  print(line)
  pieces = line.split(",")  #split the data by the tab
  feed = api.feeds.get(FEED_ID)
  datastream = get_datastream(feed,str(pieces[0]))
  datastream.max_value = None
  datastream.min_value = None

  datastream.current_value = str(pieces[2])
  datastream.at = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
  datastream.update()

  line = ""

When I run the code, this is the output (and error) that I'm getting:

# python datalogger.nocatch 
Trying... /dev/ttyO4
Connected to  /dev/ttyO4
Initializing xively API client

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "datalogger.nocatch", line 51, in <module>
    feed = api.feeds.get(FEED_ID)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xively/managers.py", line 265, in get
    data = response.json()
TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable

I'm a total noob when it comes to Python, so the fix for this may be totally obvious to someone who's well-versed, but it seems that there may be a bug in the managers.py file. How should I go about addressing this?
