Error whois module not callable

Question

i try to use this code:

https://bitbucket.org/richardpenman/pywhois/src/50b5966b55663b3a95e157680dc033b321360eac?at=default

import whois
w = whois.whois('webscraping.com')

but i get the error message:

wh = whois.whois('example.com')
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

anyone know how to solve this problem ?

Its a module, not a function. The error message is pretty clear about that. — , Oct 10 '15 at 15:45

apt-get install python-whois install this module. You should install python-whois with pip
