Python Inheritance With No Arguments

Question

So I'm getting my mind toyed with right now. I feel like I've found a bug in python, but I'm sure that can't be the case. Can someone point out what I'm missing?

class LinkedList():
    def __init__(self):
        pass


def SortedLinkedList(LinkedList):
    pass

new_list = SortedLinkedList()

gives

TypeError: SortedLinkedList() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)

while

new_list = SortedLinkedList("wtf")

works fine. What is going on?

Answer 1

def SortedLinkedList(LinkedList):

will create a function, not a class. Perhaps you meant

class SortedLinkedList(LinkedList):
