TypeError: takes exactly 1 argument (6 given)

Question

Can't figure out why it won't allow me to pass variables into the method. The variable "module" is actually creating an object of LinkFailure:

from lib.remediation.link_failure import LinkFailure
from mapping import get_remediation

def remediation(dstamp,tstamp,device,error_code,error_message,ntw_device):
    module = get_remediation(error_code)
    device = module(*ntw_device)
    device.troubleshoot(dstamp,tstamp,device,error_code,error_message)

Here is my mapping file to get the LinkFailure:

######################## FUNCTIONS ##############################
from lib.remediation import link_failure 
from lib.remediation import default 

ERROR_CODES_TO_REMEDIATIONS = {
        'LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN': link_failure.LinkFailure
}

DEFAULT_REMEDIATION = {
        'default': default.Default
}

def get_remediation(error_code):

        if error_code in ERROR_CODES_TO_REMEDIATIONS:
                module = ERROR_CODES_TO_REMEDIATIONS[error_code]
        else:
                module = DEFAULT_REMEDIATION['default']

        return module

Here is my class file:

from initialize import Initialize

class LinkFailure(Initialize):

    def troubleshoot(self,dstamp,tstamp,device,error_code,error_message):
        print 'LINK FAILURE'
        print dstamp,device

When I run it, here is the traceback:

Why does it only allow 1 argument when I've already defined 6 including itself in the method?

Answer 1

I was checking the wrong module.. The default module with the troubleshoot method only accepted 1 argument.

I was looking at another module, link_failure and had thought it accepted 6. Human error on my side.
