 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.
