Using Mann-Whitney U in Python: TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

I'm doing pairwise tests for my data using using Mann-Whitney U.

  for x in myData:
      for y in myData:
          d_value, p_value = ks_2samp(x, y) #two-tailed p-value
          u_value, p_value1 = mannwhitneyu(x, y, use_continuity=True) #One-sided p-value

I got an error at this line:

u_value, p_value1 = mannwhitneyu(x, y, use_continuity=True)

Error:

TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

I don't know what I'm missing here ? I'd appreciate any help!

Somewhere in you program, you named a list called mannwhitneyu. Since mannwhitneyu is now a list, you can no long call it as a function. Try finding the list in question and changing its name to mannwhitneyuList. This will solve your problem, because now Python no longer associates the name mannwhitneyu with a list, meaning that it now points to the intended function.
