[Python] why am i seeing TypeError: 'module' object is not subscriptable

i am using pycharm (python version 3.13.5) and i am trying to use youtube api to get publicly available data.

in my config.py i have:

config = { "google_api_keys": "abc", "yt_playlist_id": "xyz" }


youtube_producer.py has:

def main(): logging.info("START")
google_api_key = CONFIG["google_api_key"]
yt_playlist_id = CONFIG["yt_playlist_id"]
get_playlistItems(google_api_key, yt_playlist_id)

if name == "main": logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
main()


the error i keep getting is

INFO:root:START
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Project0\src\producer\yotube_producer.py", line 23, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
~~~~^^
File "Project0\src\producer\yotube_producer.py", line 17, in main
google_api_key = CONFIG["google_api_key"]
~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: 'module' object is not subscriptable
