Python documentation says: > exception TypeError > > Raised when an operation or function is applied to an object of > inappropriate type. The associated value is a string giving details > about the type mismatch.
For example: >>> 'foo' + (1, 2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'tuple' objects So far so good. But why the following code gives a TypeError too? >>> class C(object): ... def __init__(self): ... pass ... >>> C(1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) I'm having hard times understanding why a TypeError is raised here. Could you explain?
