<method> takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) python question

[bcollier]

I've gotten this same error, seemingly for no reason, and Googling around doesn't seem to help. Maybe someone else here has come across it. I'm calling it with 1 argument, and it has 1 argument. I know I've had this problem other places to. Any thoughts?

Type:Error: parse_bits_blog() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

if self.include_bits_blog:
self.parse_bits_blog(self)

def parse_bits_blog(self):
bits_soup = self.index_to_soup('http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/13/')
self.log(str(bits_soup))

As far as I understand it, the self parameter is implied. You should not have it in the call. i.e. your code should be

if self.include_bits_blog:
            self.parse_bits_blog()

def parse_bits_blog(self):
        bits_soup = self.index_to_soup('http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/13/')
        self.log(str(bits_soup))[/QUOTE]
