noob question: "TypeError" wrong number of args

[Holger]

Hi guys

Tried searching for a solution to this, but the error message is so
generic, that I could not get any meaningfull results.

Anyways - errormessage:
----------------------------------------------------
TypeError: addFile() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
----------------------------------------------------

The script is run with two args "arg1" and "arg2":
----------------------------------------------------
import sys

class KeyBase:
def addFile(file):
print "initialize the base with lines from this file"

print "These are the args"
print "Number of args %d" % len(sys.argv)
print sys.argv
print sys.version_inf o
print sys.version

f = sys.argv[1]
print "f = '%s'" % f
b = KeyBase()

b.addFile(f)
----------------------------------------------------

The output - including error message
(looks like stdout and stderr are a bit out of sync...):
----------------------------------------------------
These are the args
Traceback (most recent call last):

Number of args 3
['C:\\home\\<.. bla bla snip ...>\\bin\\test .py', 'arg1', 'arg2']

b.addFile(f)
TypeError: addFile() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
----------------------------------------------------

I'm running this inside ActiveState Komodo on WinXP.

Hope one you wizards can give me pointers to either what I'm doing
wrong or maybe advise me what to modify in my setup.

Thank you!

Ah, well then, there's no need for a full-blown parser. It should
suffice to recognize a class definition and modify the parameter list of
every def indented one level further than that.

won't do :

class CounterExample( object):
if compute_some_co nst_according_t o_phase_of_moon ():
def meth(...):
do_something(se lf, 42)

Uuuhhhhnn, you got me pardner. (cough, cough) my hands, they're so cold.
