workable_copy = copy(read_excel)

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

This message means that you're calling a module as though it were a function. Since your script recognizes copy as a module, I assume you've imported it with import xlutils.copy. However, if you want to use the function without qualifying it, you have to import it like this:

from xlutils.copy import copy
