TypeError: main() takes exactly 1 argument #61

Closed iBadawi closed 2 years ago

Hi Allen,

Thanks for the book & code. I just started working on the code & got this error message when I run the nsfg.py code:

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)

in () 165 166 if __name__ == '__main__': --> 167 main(*sys.argv) TypeError: main() takes exactly 1 argument (3 given) Can you please explain the issue here and how to fix it? I'm new to Python and spent some time researching this issue but couldn't sort it out. Thanks

If you provide command-line arguments, that would cause the error you are seeing. Are you providing command-line arguments?
