Pygame TypeError: missing 1 required positional ar

Question

I am programming a game in Pygame. I kept running up on this error and I don't understand how to fix it.It runs the pauseMenu() init and prints what is in it so it can run it but after that I am stuck. Any help would be a appreciated.

Exact error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/derek/Desktop/current workspace/Red_Fox/main.py", line 85, in <module>
    start()

    pauseMenu.pauseMenuFunct(DISPLAYSURF,(WINWIDTH,WINHEIGHT))
TypeError: pauseMenuFunct() missing 1 required positional argument: 'WINDIM'

The main is here and the file I am calling is under it.

    def __init__(self):
        print('PauseMenu _init_ ran')

Answer 1

You are calling pauseMenu on the class itself:

pauseMenu.pauseMenuFunct(DISPLAYSURF,(WINWIDTH,WINHEIGHT))

This is an unbound function, so self will not be filled in for you.

You also create an instance somewhere:

def start():
    pygame.init()
    menuScreen = MenuScreen()
    pMenu = pauseMenu()

Perhaps you meant to call pMenu.pauseMenuFunct() instead?
