TypeError: dict object is not callable (inside Thread function)-CodePudding

I am getting an error in a program which is using threading to perform functions simultaneously, this process is a job which is run once per hour, The data that comes in is from a view in sql.

The function that is called in target arg returns a dictionary and says "dict object is not callable". Inside the function, is returned a dictionary. My doubt is what should return in this function, if I don't return anything will it affect any other thread?

# inside the jobs in django I call this function
def ticket_booking():  
  
    query = " SELECT * FROM vw_ticket_list;"  

    ttd = []
    try:
        result = query_to_dicts(query)
        tickets = json.loads(to_json(result))
        if tickets:

            # Calling the vaccination push message (php).
            for ticket in tickets:
            
                # Getting Generic details used by all categories
                full_name = tickets['full_name'] 
                gender = tickets['gender']  
                email =tickets[email]

                if tickets['language_id'] == 1:  # book english movie tickets 
                   
                    # Calling the function inside the Thread for a Syncronuz Call (Wait and Watch)
                    myThread = threading.Thread(target=book_english(email, full_name))
                    myThread.start()  
                    myThread.join()  

                if tickets['language_id']  == 2:  # book italian movie tickets 
                    myThread = threading.Thread(target=book_italian( email, full_name, gender))
                    myThread.start()  # Starting the Thread
                    myThread.join() #Will return here if sth is returned

As you can see in code comments, if book italian function returns sth, only then it can return here and I have 5 threads in total to excute simultaneously, book italian function is like:

def book_italian(email,fullname,gender):
try
    # posts data to another server #
    b=requests.post(some postdata)

     a =log.objects.create(log data from b in crct format)
     return a--->{"Message":"Log created successfully"}

a is type class dict and I tried to change it to many types still gives me same error, this job isn't running when run in crontab.

CodePudding user response：

When you use threading.Thread to execute something, you should separate the target callable object (like a function) and corresponding arguments (parameters) then pass them respectively:

myThread = threading.Thread(target=book_italian, args=(email, full_name, gender))
