[Python] FastAPI Depends not resolving dependency properly — "TypeError: 'Depends' object is...

I'm trying to build a simple FastAPI endpoint that uses dependency injection to get the current user. However, I'm getting this confusing error when hitting the route:

TypeError: 'Depends' object is not callablet

I am using this code:

from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends, HTTPException
from fastapi.security import OAuth2PasswordBearer

app = FastAPI()
oauth2_scheme = OAuth2PasswordBearer(tokenUrl="token")

def get_current_user(token: str = Depends(oauth2_scheme)):
if token != "valid-token":
raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Invalid token")
return {"username": "john_doe"}

@app.get("/users/me")
def read_users_me(current_user = Depends(get_current_user)):
return current_user


I expected this to work, but I’m getting the error as soon as I hit /users/me. I've double-checked that Depends is imported from fastapi.

What am I doing wrong?
