Object not callable error accessing array

Question

def readscorefromcsv():
    position = listusers.index(username)

    print(position)

    global pointposition
    pointposition = listscore(int(position))

I keep getting the error TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

I am trying to find the value for a specific position in an array

listusers is an array of usernames, listscore is the array of user scores.
position is the position of the username in the array.

What you're calling an "array" is called a list in Python. — martineau

List elements can be accessed by [] . listscore() means, calling the method named listscore

 pointposition = listscore[int(position)]

listscore is a list, by doing listscore() you get the error TypeError: 'list' object is not callable. Use [] instead to access an item. And index() returns an integer, so you don't need to call int(). Try this:

pointposition = listscore[position]
