function got multiple values for keyword argument for value

[kavithabhaskaran2013]

search(lane,value=None,start=105,stop=115,GUI=True) -> function definition
search(lane,value=value,start=start, stop=stop,GUI=True) -> function call

I get the error "search()" got multiple keyword argument for value"

I understand when this error comes up - if I had a function definition like below

def func(a):
---

and if I called it as "func(0,a)" where I am passing 2 parameters instead of 1, I would end up with the error message.

I dont follow why I get it when the number of arguments I am calling with the function call match the parameters in the definition.

Please advise.

What type is "value" expected to be? A single item, a list, a dict, etc?

Hi John - it is an object.

Cut your example down to just what you need to show the problem, and
then copy and paste both the code and the full exception traceback. I
suspect it's not quite what you think it is... maybe you're not
looking at the right line of code, because that function call looks
fine to me.

I suspect that you've a method rather than a function so I hope this

helps

Mark - I am not having an issue with __init__. It has nothing to do with "self". It is a user-defined function, but it is not __init__

Cleaned up even better. Sorry that I missed it in my last post.
