python socket connection error

[Dy7SLyTq]

so im writing an irc session class (its very rough right now. still fleshing it out) and got this error when i tried to test it:

dtscode@dtscode-Latitude-E6410:~/Desktop$ python irc.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "irc.py", line 101, in <module>
    session.Connect()
TypeError: Connect() takes no arguments (1 given)

here is the code in question:

#! /usr/bin/env python

# Modules to import
import socket # for connecting to the server

# IRC Session class to abstract the session
# (and make my life easier)
class IRC:
    """IRC Session class to abstract the data""" # irc class bio

I am going to take a wild guess and say you are passing host and port to connect() on line 76 when connect() does not actually take any arguments. Perhaps those are passed as arguments to the socket constructor or initializer function?

[Dy7SLyTq]

no i figured it out. for whatever reason it wanted me to remove the function parathenses on lines 100-103 if i didnt pass arguments.

update: as it turns out, you have to explicitly put in self (which i think is the python equivalent to this) as an argument in class functions

Yes, but you should not pass them when calling a class function.

That sounds odd, what version of python are you using?

[Dy7SLyTq]

2.7.3, but now im suspect if it actually worked or just ran without errors.

Yes, but you should not pass them when calling a class function.

oh yes i know. i just meant that it would be like this in c++ int myclass::afunc(this). i deduced from my code and the errors that it is passed implicitly
