I get an error when I try to get a site in Python

import whois
site = input('enter site : ')
M = whois.whois(site)
print(M)

When I input, enter site : google.com

I got following response (error):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "f:/Programming/project/Project/whois.py", line 1, in <module>
    import whois
  File "f:\Programming\project\Project\whois.py", line 4, in <module>
    M = whois.whois(site)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Your file is called whois.py. When you import whois you are importing your file not the package you think you are. Running whois.whois(...) you are calling yourself as a function.

Rename your file and try again.

try:

M = whois.query(site)
print(M.__dict__)

query is the method to get the site whois data
