Overriden class method throwing TypeError (missing 'self')

Question

I need to replace a method class wide, from what I found, this was the way to do it:

from kivy.core.window import Window

def maximize_(self):
    # do things

Window.maximize = maximize_

Later when I call Window.maximize() , throws:

TypeError: maximize_() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

There is only ever 1 Window in a kivy application, so I just need to replace this function entirely.

Answer 1

Kivy window methods are static. Assuming you do not use the self parameter of maximize_ within the function, I would remove the parameter.

from kivy.core.window import Window

def maximize_():
    # do things

Window.maximize = maximize_
