  First and foremost, please please please: don't describe or paraphrase tracebacks when asking for help, show them. The whole thing. It doesn't -really- matter here, but it still applies. 


  I'll keep that in mind but in this instance I simply cut and pasted the message.




  That said, "drawffnet" is a module.


  You can't call -- put () on the end of -- a module. Its not a function. Its a file containing code.


  Perhaps you mean drawffnet.drawffnet()?



  I copied that code from an example and what you suggested fixed it. 
  Thanks.
