"TypeError: 'datetime.datetime' object is not callable" on making discord bot with discord.py

Question:

I’m trying to make the bot to kick the player who has the role for a week, but I’m getting some errors.

I’ve tried some of the relevant answers in stackoverflow, like TypeError: 'module' object is not callable and TypeError: 'datetime.datetime' object is not callable, but nothing worked. Maybe because it’s my first time working with python?

Sorry for my bad english, but I need some help.

-edit-

My first code was actually

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if len(before.roles) < len(after.roles):
        new_role = next(role for role in after.roles if role not in before.roles)
        guild = bot.get_guild(*something*)
        if '.• 미인증 유저' in new_role.name:
            role_name1 = ".• 미인증 유저"
            role1 = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name=role_name1)
            await asyncio.sleep(604800)
            timenow = datetime.now
            max_join_time_1 = timenow() - timedelta(weeks=1)
            log_channel = bot.get_channel(*something*)
            if after in role1.members and after.joined_at < max_join_time_1:
                await after.kick(reason="일주일동안 인증하지 않으셨습니다.")
                
                embed = discord.Embed(title="강퇴",
                                      colour=0xB11B1B,
                                      timestamp=datetime.now())
                              
                embed.set_thumbnail(url=after.avatar_url)
                
                fields = [("이름", f"{after.name}", False),
                          ("사유", f"7일간 미인증으로 머물러 강퇴당함.", False)]
                          
                for name, value, inline in fields:
                    embed.add_field(name=name, value=value, inline=inline)
                    
                await log_channel.send(embed=embed)
            else:
                pass
        else:
            pass

but then I had the

TypeError: can’t compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes

error, so I fixed both of the timezone to utc.

First it worked fine when I ran it my computer, and it had errors only when I uploaded it to heroku.

But after the edit I can’t run it by my computer, too.

Answers:

Here is the problem:

timenow = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
max_join_time_1 = timenow() - timedelta(weeks=1)
#                        ^^

You create a datetime object called timenow and then you try to call it on the next line.

Remove the parentheses:

timenow = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
max_join_time_1 = timenow - timedelta(weeks=1)

In my situation, there is a datetime.py exist in the same directory of my active python file.
Renaming or removing it resolve my issue
