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

Question

So I tried using the function InteractiveSession.close() If I do it says:

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

But when I do InteractiveSession.close(self) It gives me the Error

NameError: name 'self' is not defined

I don't know what to do can anyone help? Thanks in Advance!!!!

Answer 1

You are expected to call .close() on an instance of the InteractiveSession class, not the class itself.

For example, if you have an instance of InteractiveSession in the variable session , you would write session.close() .

Also note that TF developers helpfully provided a usage example here: https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/compat/v1/InteractiveSession

This question reflects a basic but common misunderstanding about how classes work in Python. There are many documents and guides that can help you on this topic, for example here is one I just found with a DDG search: https://medium.com/quick-code/understanding-self-in-python-a3704319e5f0
