Actually you can fix it with following steps -

Do cls.__dict__
This will give you dictionary format output which will contain {'isFilled':True} or {'isFilled':False} depending upon what you have set.
Delete this entry - del cls.__dict__['isFilled']
You will be able to call the method now.

In this case, we delete the entry which overrides the method as mentioned by BrenBarn.

You do cls isFilled   True   That overwrites the method called isFilled and replaces it with the value True   That method is now gone and you can t call it anymore   So when you try to call it again you get an error  since it s not there anymore   The solution is use a different name for the variable than you do for the method

[python] TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable
