[FIXED] TypeError: 'str' object object not callable in trivial read_csv example

Issue

I am trying to read a sample csv from the same folder as my .py file but am being presented with:

  File "directory etc etc//untitled2.py", line 10, in <module>
    data=pd.read_csv('Sample Data.csv')

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

I am a little confused what this is being caused by as my code is exactly 2 lines long:

import pandas as pd
data=pd.read_csv('Sample Data.csv')

The contents of 'Sample Data.csv' is:

Student Id,Name
1,Oney
2,Twonie
3,Forthman
4,Forthman
5,Sixone
6,Fifthy

The directory looks as such:

I am aware this isn't specifically a coding question as I don't think there is anything wrong with the code but I would like to know what is causing this.

Confusingly the code worked until I tried to add further operations to it and now does not work even with everything removed bar the two lines quoted above.

I am using:

Spyder 3.3.6 
Python 3.7.3 64-bit | Qt 5.9.6 | PyQt5 5.9.2 | Windows 10 

Edit: Code added that broke it:

import pandas as pd

data=pd.read_csv('Sample Data.csv')
cleaner=pd.read_csv('Cleaning list.csv')

cleaner=list(cleaner.itertuples(index=False, name=None))

for a,b in cleaner:
    data.loc[data['Student Id']==a,'Name'] = b

print(data)

Solution

I have not identified the cause of this but have 'fixed' it. Closing an reopening did not fix the problem but uninstalling and reinstalling Spyder did.
