object is not callable error in pytube when I try to insert a YouTube link

When I try to use this code (in pytube):

import pytube as Youtube
tr = Youtube("https://youtu.be/6MUP0bItFQU")

This error appears to me:

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Can someone help me please ?

You're importing the module pytube and calling it YouTube, where you really want to from pytube import YouTube, which is importing YouTube from the pytube module.

You get that error because you call YouTube with Youtube("https://youtu.be/6MUP0bItFQU") - but since YouTube is just the renamed pytube module at that point, you're calling a module (and not a class constructor or some other function).

So:

from pytube import YouTube
tr = YouTube("https://youtu.be/6MUP0bItFQU")

The documentation of PyTube shows the same, and provides some examples of how to continue use.
