I'm unable to reproduce, is this still happening?

[prietus]

it is. if I delete this part of the code (diff attached), the issue gets fixed. Not saying that's a solution but it can help to clarify the issue.

OK, well that code is pretty important to the module. One way you might be able to troubleshoot is to run the actual code that the module is using and see where it breaks down. For example, copy the following into a file foo.py and then run python foo.py:

import i3ipc
conn = i3ipc.Connection()
tree = conn.get_tree()
w = tree.find_focused()
p = w.parent()
print('w.border = {}'.format(w.border))
print('w.type = {}'.format(w.type))
print('p.layout = {}'.format(p.layout))
print('len(p.nodes) = {}'.format(len(p.nodes)))

I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "foo.py", line 7, in
p = w.parent()
TypeError: 'Con' object is not callable

OK, this seems like an upstream issue, can you report it to https://github.com/altdesktop/i3ipc-python?
