Access point status function return error

[sabeehalam]

I created an access point on ESP8266 and used the status function to return the status of the access point but I get a type error. It states:
TypeError: 'bool' object isn't callable. From what I read in the documentation, the return value of the status function should be an integer value? How should I solve this problem?

Please provide a code sample which demonstrates the problem.

import network
import time

ap_interface = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF)
ap_interface.active(True)
ap_interface.config(essid=ACCESS_POINT_NAME, password=ACCESS_POINT_PASSWORD)
while ap_interface.active() == False:
pass
print('Access Point enabled successfully')
print(ap_interface.ifconfig())

while True():
print(ap_interface.status())
time.sleep(1)

That code works fine here on an ESP8266. In my testing .status() returns -1 every time, but no exception is thrown.

When posting code samples, if you enclose the sample in triple backtick () characters, indentation is preserved. If the opening triple backtick is followed by py` then syntax colouring is also added:

import network
import time

ap_interface = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF)
ap_interface.active(True)
ap_interface.config(essid="rats", password="password")
while ap_interface.active() == False:
    pass
print('Access Point enabled successfully')
print(ap_interface.ifconfig())
while True:
    print(ap_interface.status())
    time.sleep(1)
