Not callable string object

def power(num,div):
    incre =0 
    while(num%div == 0):
        num = num/div
        incre +=1
    return incre
test_case = int(raw_input())

lim = 0

while lim  < test_case:
    power = (raw_input())
    x = power.split()
    a = int(x[0])
    b = int(x[1])
    lim +=1
print power(a,b)

Python used to work normally until I had this error.

raw_input always returns a string object. Because of that, this line:

power = (raw_input())

makes power a string. Furthermore, when this happens, it overrides your function power.

When you get to this point:

print power(a,b)

power is a string and you get an error for trying to call it as you would a function.

To fix the problem, either rename the function or the string. They both can't be named power.
