Seems like it says an os.environ object is not callable. In Python docs, it says: "A mapping object representing the string environment. For example, environ['HOME'] is the pathname of your home directory (on some platforms), and is equivalent to getenv("HOME") in C." Try to change the line return os.environ(var_name) to return os.environ[var_name], maybe it'll fix the issue.
