Python TypeError: 'Field' object is not callable: msql-connector-python

Problem: Executing a certain UPDATE query using the 'mysql-connector-python' library causes a TypeError during utf8 encoding.

Packages in my project:

colorama==0.4.6
iniconfig==2.0.0
mysql-connector-python==8.1.0
packaging==23.1
pluggy==1.2.0
protobuf==4.21.12
PyPika==0.48.9
pytest==7.4.0
python-dotenv==1.0.0

Here is the UPDATE query I am creating from PyPika:

UPDATE `companyconfig`.`routing` SET `SequenceNumber`='4' WHERE `SiteGuid`='{AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA}' AND `Type`='directories'

Here is my query builder:

def get_update_system_site_directory_lookup_index_query(site_guid: str, sequence_number: int):
    # Using PyPika for this query building
    schema = Schema('companyconfig')
    table = Table('routing', schema)
    return MySQLQuery.update(table) \
        .set(table.SequenceNumber, str(sequence_number)) \
        .where((table.SiteGuid == site_guid) & (table.Type == 'directories'))

def fix_directory_lookup_indexes():
    # update_query becomes: UPDATE `companyconfig`.`routing` SET `SequenceNumber`='4' WHERE `SiteGuid`='{AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA}' AND `Type`='directories'
    update_query = get_update_system_site_directory_lookup_index_query('{AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA}', 4)

    query_result = connection.cursor.execute(update_query)

Here is the stack trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    query = query.encode("utf-8")

TypeError: 'Field' object is not callable

Before I execute the query, I can tell the output of the query builder is correct. I tested the exact query on the SQL server and it worked, but when I try executing through the connector, I get that TypeError.

I'm not sure why this error is showing up due to a string being encoded, and I am unable to find what the real problem is.

Anybody got any ideas?

Regards and thanks,
