Python inheritance TypeError object init takes no parameters

0 votes

I get this error:

TypeError: object.__init__() takes no parameters 

when running my code, I don't really see what I'm doing wrong here though:

class IRCReplyModule(object):

    activated=True
    moduleHandlerResultList=None
    moduleHandlerCommandlist=None
    modulename=""

    def __init__(self,modulename):
        self.modulename = modulename


class SimpleHelloWorld(IRCReplyModule):

     def __init__(self):
            super(IRCReplyModule,self).__init__('hello world')

You are calling the wrong class name in your super() call:

class SimpleHelloWorld(IRCReplyModule):

     def __init__(self):
            #super(IRCReplyModule,self).__init__('hello world')
            super(SimpleHelloWorld,self).__init__('hello world')

Essentially what you are resolving to is the __init__ of the object base class which takes no params.

Its a bit redundant, I know, to have to specify the class that you are already inside of, which is why in python3 you can just do: super().__init__()
