Python throws the error, ‘function’ object is not subscriptable, when we try to index or subscript a python function. Only iterables like array, list, tuples, dictionaries etc. are allowed to be indexed.

Consider this example –

def iAmAFunction():
    return ["Captain America", "Hulk", "Thor"]

print(iAmAFunction[1])

## Error: 'function' object is not subscriptable

PythonCopy

The above code will throw the error because we are trying to subscript a function iAmAFunction[1]. Although this function is returning a list, but we cannot directly subscript it.
