super().__init()?

when Kenneth is declaring his resources, he uses super().init() to take care of the reqparsing setup

when i'm running it i get a typeError: super() takes at least 1 arguement not 0. I tried passing in self but i get super takes argument of type , not <myResourceName>

Thanks!

Hello!

I think your problem might be that you're missing the __ of the init:

super().__init__()

Ahhh while I typed the question incorrectly, I did have the double dunder in the actual code

It's turns out that since I was using python 2 the syntax was super (<insertclassname>, self).init()

Python3 has abstracted that to just super ().init() ^_^

Hrmm that's weird. On mobile treehouse seems to take away the __'s in my comment
