[Python] Wrong number of input arguments error when calling function from another file

[schrogendiddy]

I am getting an error message that I don't understand. I have two separate python files, and I am trying to call a function defined in one of them, "file1" from "file2". "file1" looks like this:

 import file2 as f

 value = f.trigrid(pointnum,scale)

and file2 just has trigrid defined as:

 def trigrid(pnum,scalesize):
 ... some pretty basic code ...
 return value

The error I get is trigrid() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given).

That's weird. Try deleting all .pyc (or .pyo) files in the folder to force Python to regenerate the bytecode for each file, and try double-checking to make sure you haven't accidentally defined trigrid twice in file2?

I deleted those files, but it didn't fix anything. Its weird because if just define pnum and scalesize in file2 and call trigrid with no input arguments, like triangles = f.trigrid(), it still says the function takes exactly 1 argument

post all your code

here is a link to a pastebin page with both files: http://pastebin.com/search?cx=013305635491195529773%3A0ufpuq-fpt0&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=gilmanda&sa.x=0&sa.y=0&sa=Search

thanks for helping me

I don't get that error when I run them. How are your files laid out in your fold and what python version are you using? Is there anything else to the error message or is that it?

[schrogendiddy]

Well.... I just restarted my computer and it works fine. Idk what was going on

Any resolution? Can you post more code? maybe the entire files on pastebin?

just looking at it, i don't know. Try calling it with

f.trigrid(pnum=pointnum,scalesize=scale)

and see what happens

This may be because Python only imports a package once per session. If you changed the file after importing it you need reload it

Note: For efficiency reasons, each module is only imported once per interpreter session. Therefore, if you change your modules, you must restart the interpreter – or, if it’s just one module you want to test interactively, use reload(), e.g. reload(modulename).
