Python 2.7 __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

Question

I\'ve got these classes. Person is the parent class and Student is the child class:

class Person(object):
    def __init__(self, name):         


        

Answer 1

If you are using super, you don't pass self to the target method. It is passed implicitly.

super(Student, self).__init__(name)

That's 2 arguments total (self, name). When you passed self, that was 3 total (self, self, name).
