Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: FWIW 3.1 gives same message as 2.6. I have not installed 3.2a yet to check that.
Reporting of argument count mismatch has always been problematical, especially for methods. I almost think the message should be simplified to "Arguments passed do not match function signature." Programmers who do not immediately immediately see the problem (because they know the signature but made an inadvertent mistake) will have to check the signature anyway. The alternative should be a clearer and more complete report than currently, which will take more than one line. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9943> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
