Hello,

I have an error message i do not understand:

My code is in essence:

class A(object):
#no __new__ or __init__
def meth1(self, args):
#some code
def meth2(self, args):
#some code

class B(list, A)
pass

b = B([1,2,3,4])

error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Documents\Code\Eclipse\workspace\FlowTools\ite raids.py",
line 431, in <module>
testolist()
File "D:\Documents\Code\Eclipse\workspace\FlowTools\ite raids.py",
line 381, in testolist
b = B([0,1,2,3,4])
TypeError: B() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

(adapted the error to the example classes)

Can anyone help/explain?

Cheers, Lars

Your code doesn't quite match your error message, and the code as
posted (with 'pass' in the method bodies to make it compile) works
fine. Can you derive a minimal test-case that actually produces the
error in question, and then post the actual code and error? Also -
what version of Python are you using?

The class is defined in a silly way.
In python declaring a class with only trivial properties added is
not very python at all.

Just let an object obtain new properties to save the troubles of
deriving a lot classes not different too much.

The example given looks like a Mixin class, which is perfectly acceptable
in Python.

The code you give works fine. It does not show the error you say it does.
Please test your code before posting and ensure it actually fails the way
you expect.

It is perfectly fine to use multiple inheritance in the way you show.
Here is an even simpler example:

py> class Spam(object):
.... pass
....
py> class Ham(list, Spam):
.... pass
....
py>
py> h = Ham([1, 2, 3])
py>

And no exception is raised.

Sorry for wasting you time, I found the error (had "def" instead of
"class" before B in the example), sorry about not testing, shouldn't
post at 2:00 AM.

Thanks all the same, Lars
