TypeError: startView() takes exactly 1 argument (3 given)

[Ron Croonenberg]

Hello,

I am trying to write a plugin for Rhythmbox in python and run into a 
'strange' problem. For a method (an action for clicking a button) I 
started a method and however many arguments I use, it keeps giving me 
the same error:

'TypeError: startView() takes exactly 1 argument (3 given)'

does someone have any pointers or tips?, thanks;

Ron

here is the code I have the problem with:

import rb
import pygtk
import gtk, gobject


pygtk.require('2.0')



class tb_button (rb.Plugin):

#
# the init thing
#
   def __init__(self):
      rb.Plugin.__init__(self)

#
# the activate thing
#
   def activate(self, shell):
      self.shell = shell

      view_button = """
                  <ui>
                    <toolbar name="ToolBar">
                      <placeholder name="View">
                        <toolitem name="View" action="viewAction">
                        </toolitem>
                      </placeholder>
                    </toolbar>
                  </ui>
                  """

      # create a new action
      action = gtk.Action('viewAction',
                        _(' _View'),
                        _('Browse Track '), "")

      # connect it
      action.connect('activate', self.startView, shell)
      action_group = gtk.ActionGroup('NewActionGroup')
      action_group.add_action(action)
      shell.get_ui_manager().insert_action_group(action_group)

      # add it to the toolbar
      ui_manager = shell.get_ui_manager()
      ui_manager.add_ui_from_string(view_button)



#
# Start the  View
#
   def startView(self, widget, shell, se):
# nothing yet
      return
