class A: ... def echo(self, x): ... return x ... a = A() a.echo() Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: echo() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)
I bet my last 2 cents this has already been raised in past but I want to give it a try and revamp the subject anyway. Is there a reason why the error shouldn't be adjusted to state that 1 argument is actually required instead of 2?
