python - py3-validate-email linux 'module' object is not callable

Question

package https://pypi.org/project/py3-validate-email/ on fedora 33 linux gives following output

[name@localhost ~]$ python email.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/name/email.py", line 1, in <module>
    from validate_email import validate_email
  File "/home/name/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/validate_email/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .validate_email import validate_email, validate_email_or_fail  # NOQA

    is_valid = validate_email(email_address='[email protected]', check_regex=True, check_mx=True)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

code

from validate_email import validate_email
is_valid = validate_email(email_address='[email protected]', check_regex=True, check_mx=True, from_address='[email protected]', helo_host='my.host.name', smtp_timeout=10, dns_timeout=10, use_blacklist=True, debug=False)

could it be due to python 3.9? what could be missing? on windows it works well
