AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'validate'

I'm trying to resize a set of images. I followed the code mentioned here, but I keep getting this error.

The code snippet which results in the above-mentioned error is as follows -

from PIL import Image
from resizeimage import resizeimage

def resize_images(root_image_path, resized_image_path):
    for image_folder in os.listdir(root_image_path):
        
        # create corresponding folders in the resized_images folder
        if not os.path.exists(os.path.join(resize_image_path, image_folder)):
            os.makedirs(os.path.join(resize_image_path, image_folder))
                        
        # resize all images to 256 x 256
        for image in os.listdir(os.path.join(root_image_path, image_folder)):
            img = Image.open(os.path.join(root_image_path, image_folder, image), 'r')
            
            # check if image can be resized i.e. if it is too small or not
            is_valid = resizeimage.resize_cover.validate(img, [256, 256])
            
            if is_valid:
                # if image is valid, resize it to 256 x 256
                img = resizeimage.resize_cover(img, [256, 256], validate=False)
                img = img.convert("RGB")
                img.save(os.path.join(resized_image_path, image_folder, image), img.format)
            else:
                # if the image is too small, scale it up
                img = resizeimage.resize_contain(img, [256, 256], validate=False)
                img = img.convert("RGB")
                img.save(os.path.join(resized_image_path, image_folder, image), img.format)
                
                        
        print('{} done!'.format(image_folder))
    print('Resizing images complete!')

The error message that I get is shown below -

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     19 
     20             if is_valid:

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'validate'

Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you so much.

Same same. Lovely little script, but maybe for now i have to skip the valide and just "try" and catch the exception I guess?
