I am importing matplotlib the following way:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Then when I execute the command:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10, 10))

I get the following error:

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

I don't understand why it could be happening, as I always import pyplot like that and I never have any issues.

When printing plt I obtain the following:

<module 'matplotlib' from 'C:\\Users\\itsas\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\lib\\site-packages\\matplotlib\\__init__.py'>

When I substitute all my 'plt' for 'matplotlib.pyplot', it works... It's almost as if it wasn't importing pyplot for some reason...

    You very probably assigned plt.figure = ... either somewhere earlier in your code, or in an interactive environment. Try restarting your environment. Commented Feb 22, 2021 at 18:50
