Can't use type parameter in posts() function about pytumblr

[seejohnrun]

Type is actually specified as an arg to that function, not in **kwargs, ie:

def posts(self, blogname, type=None, **kwargs):
  # woo

Hope this helps!

I saw that before posting this, but I don't think that is the problem. I'm still getting an error in the traceback where it calls a helper function from the send_api_request function; it seems the helper function does not reflect this function signature?

C:\Users...\Desktop\Machine Learning Project\client_test.py in ()
42
43 args = { 'limit':2}
---> 44 posts = client.posts(urls[0], 'text', **args)
45 print(posts)

C:\Users....\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\User\lib\site-packages\pytumblr-0.0.5-py2.7.egg\pytumblr\helpers.pyc in add_dot_tumblr(_args, *_kwargs)
42 args = list(args)
43 args[1] += ".tumblr.com"
---> 44 return fn(_args, *_kwargs)
45 return add_dot_tumblr

TypeError: posts() takes exactly 2 arguments (5 given)

Unless I'm missing something glaringly obvious in how I call this function?

For the record, I have also tried type='text' as the second argument but then I get the 'type is not a valid argument' error again.

I added a few tests to exercise and demonstrate this behvaior.
What value do you have in urls[0] ? Seems this is a different error you're running into

[Chaobunny]

urls[0] is just the name of a blog, i.e. like 'seejohnrun' in the example you provided. If I replace urls[0] with 'seejohnrun' I get the same error, so that isn't it.

args = {'limit':2}
#print(urls[0])
posts = client.posts('seejohnrun','photo', **args)

Here is my full stacktrace.

TypeError: posts() takes exactly 2 arguments (4 given)

Why does it say posts() takes exactly 2 arguments? Doesn't the inclusion of **kwargs imply it can take many more? It won't seem to ever let me call posts() with the function signature from init.py, and specifying type= in the argument field generates the error I originally posted about.

I'm not sure what the first item in the stack trace is referring to either, that could be the error maybe?

Yeah I would imagine that this must be something to do with your setup (window, ipython, etc)
the py3compat may mean you're trying to run all of this with python3 - which is probably going to be a non-starter

[Chaobunny]

Is this not compatible with Python 3.1?

Regardless, I found an easy workaround for the problem where I just get posts of all types and filter them afterwards. I'm still unclear about what exactly is going wrong, but if it's just the Python version then I suppose my workaround is the best solution other than changing the version of Python on my computer.

Thanks for your help.

Not that it's a good thing, but check out https://python3wos.appspot.com/ (look for the locks too!)
Python 3 was not backward compatible with Python 2.

That said, I'll see what I can do over the next week, if people are interested
