Getting TypeError('{!r} is not a callable object in Streamlit Extra Function Explorer

🧩 Streamlit Components
1

I am using streamlit-extra library’s function_explorer

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_extras.function_explorer import function_explorer

def foo(path):
    st.image(path)

function_explorer(foo('images/a.png'))

And I don’t know why I am getting this error:

2022-12-17 00:22:07.918 Uncaught app exception

    raise TypeError('{!r} is not a callable object'.format(obj))
TypeError: None is not a callable object

I am using Streamlit 1.15.2 and streamlit-extras 0.2.4 on Python 3.9.15.
Any solution?

Call function_explorer with a callable as argument instead of None.

@Goyo I don’t understand, can you explain how to do that?

4 
def my_func(input1, input2):
    return input1+input2

my_func is a callable object.

my_func(x,y) is the output from that object

Don’t pass an argument to your function that you want to explore:

function_explorer(foo)

function_explorer looks at the function itself. It will generate widgets into which you can pass the inputs.

Give function_explorer your function foo and only foo (no arguments, no parentheses)

(I see you deleted your post just now, so I’m guessing you got it. :smiley: )

Yeah I got it :sweat_smile:
