As a starting developer in Python I've seen this error message many times appearing in my console but I don't fully understand what does it means.
Could anyone tell me, in a general way, what kind of action produces this error?

The Python "TypeError: object is not callable" occurs when we try to call a not-callable object (e.g. a list or dict) as a function using parenthesis () . To solve the error, make sure to use square brackets when accessing a list at index or a dictionary's key, e.g. my_list[0] .
How to resolve typeerror: 'int' object is not callable. To resolve this error, you need to change the name of the variable whose name is similar to the in-built function int() used in the code.
The Python "TypeError: 'int' object is not callable" occurs when we try to call an integer value as a function. To solve the error, correct the assignment, make sure not to override the built-in int() function, and resolve any clashes between function and variable names.
The Python "TypeError: 'str' object is not callable" occurs when we try to call a string as a function, e.g. by overriding the built-in str() function. To solve the error, make sure you're not overriding str and resolve any clashes between function and variable names.
That error occurs when you try to call, with (), an object that is not callable.
A callable object can be a function or a class (that implements __call__ method). According to Python Docs:
object.__call__(self[, args...]): Called when the instance is “called” as a function
For example:
x = 1
print x()
x is not a callable object, but you are trying to call it as if it were it. This example produces the error:
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
For better understaing of what is a callable object read this answer in another SO post.

The other answers detail the reason for the error. A possible cause (to check) may be your class has a variable and method with the same name, which you then call. Python accesses the variable as a callable - with ().
e.g. Class A defines self.a and self.a():
>>> class A:
... def __init__(self, val):
... self.a = val
... def a(self):
... return self.a
...
>>> my_a = A(12)
>>> val = my_a.a()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
