[Numpy-discussion] TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

[Jankins]

Here is the command line python:

 >>> import scipy.sparse.linalg as linalg
 >>>
 >>> linalg.eigen()
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
 >>>

It's really wired.
