TypeError: 'module' object is not callable for repeat methods

The examples on how to use the repeat annotations seem to be broken, as repeat.repeat_every and repeat.repeat_at are modules, not objects.

Steps to replicate

Set up a new venv for testing:

mkdir -p test_dir; cd test_dir/
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install fastapi fastapi_utilities

Create a file called main.py with the example code from the README:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from fastapi_utilities.repeat import repeat_every, repeat_at

@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
  # --- startup ---
  await test()
  test2()
  yield
  # --- shutdown ---

app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)

# Repeat Every Example
@repeat_every(seconds=2)
async def test():
  print("test")

# Repeat At Example
@repeat_at(cron="* * * * *")
def test2():
  print("test2")

Run the test app:
```
uvicorn main:app --reload
```

You will get the following error:

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Workaround

I was able to get the code to work by adding an extra level to the import statements, so I think this may be an issue with how the repeat module is structured or something.

This code works:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
# from fastapi_utilities.repeat import repeat_every, repeat_at # <-- Commented out
from fastapi_utilities.repeat.repeat_at import repeat_at       # <-- Changed this
from fastapi_utilities.repeat.repeat_every import repeat_every # <-- Changed this
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
    # --- startup ---
    await test()
    test2()
    yield
    # --- shutdown ---

app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)

# Repeat Every Example
@repeat_every(seconds=2)
async def test():
    print("test")

# Repeat At Example
@repeat_at(cron="* * * * *")
def test2():
    print("test2")
