(New to Python) Keep getting a "TypeError: 'int' object is not callable"

I'm extremely new to Python and I'm trying to write a program for a GUI to pull the most and least frequent name occurrences from a list for a class assignment. I keep getting a

TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

error on this code, and I know it has to do with the line:

word_frequencies += float[self.listMyData.Count(word)]/len[self.listMyData]

But I'm not sure exactly what the error is saying. I looked at similar questions on here but still wasn't sure exactly what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the code in full:

import wx
import myLoopGUI

class MyLoopFrame(myLoopGUI.MyFrame1):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        myLoopGUI.MyFrame1.__init__(self, parent)

    def clkAddData(self,parent):
        if len(self.txtAddData.Value) != 0:
            try:
                myname = str(self.txtAddData.Value)
                self.listMyData.Append(str(myname))
            except:
                wx.MessageBox("This has to be a name!")            
        else:
            wx.MessageBox("This can't be empty")




    def clkFindMost(self, parent):
        unique_words = []
        for word in range(self.listMyData.GetCount()):
                if word not in unique_words:
                    unique_words += [word]
        word_frequencies = []
        for word in unique_words:
            word_frequencies += float[self.listMyData.Count(word)]/len[self.listMyData]  

        max_index = 0
        frequent_words =[]
        for i in range(len(unique_words)):
            if word_frequencies[i] >= word_frequencies[max_index]:
                max_index = i
                frequent_words += unique_words[max_index]
        self.txtResults.Value = frequent_words



myApp = wx.App(False)
myFrame = MyLoopFrame(None)
myFrame.Show()
myApp.MainLoop()

Count is a property of myListData. You put parentheses "()" behind it, like if it were a function, but it isn't. It's just a set integer value. That would be like doing this:

y = 5
x = y(word)

Which doesn't make sense. I'm not sure what you're trying to do with word and myListData.Count, but maybe what you're looking for is self.myListData[word].Count.

As user3666197 mentioned, you also want to change the float[...] to float(...).

omni has explained the .Count property issue.

You also might want to revise the line word_frequencies += float[ ... due to this:

>>> float[ 5 ]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'type' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
>>> float( 5 )
5.0
>>>
