pyautogui.hotkey - TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable

I'm trying to automate some activities, but when I try to use the function hotkey(), an ERROR is detected:

import pyautogui
import pyperclip

# Step 1 - Open the link in a new tab

pyautogui.PAUSE = 1

pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl','t') #open a new tab
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-37-2e2b6412b575> in <module>
      6 pyautogui.PAUSE = 1
      7 
----> 8 pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl','t') #open a new tab
      9 

TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable

Does anyone know what is wrong? My teacher used the same code and it worked.

The code as written is accurate. There is nothing programatically wrong with the code you provided:

import pyautogui
import pyperclip

pyautogui.PAUSE = 1
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl','t')

Tested on Python 3.8.8 (default, Apr 13 2021, 15:08:03) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)], PyAutoGUI version 0.9.53.

Troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue include restarting your kernel or copying into a new .py or .ipnyb file in order to make sure there is nothing else in your script that may be causing this error.

You can try:

pyautogui.keyDown('ctrl')
pyautogui.press('t')
pyautogui.keyUp('ctrl')
