python object() takes no parameters error

I can't believe this is actually a problem, but I've been trying to debug this error and I've gotten nowhere. I'm sure I'm missing something really simple because this seems so silly.

import Experiences, Places, Countries
class Experience(object):

    def make_place(self, place):
	    addr = place["address"]
    	addr = Places.ttypes.Address(addr["street"], addr["city"], addr["state"], Countries.ttypes._NAMES_TO_VALUES[addr["country"]], addr["zipcode"])
    	ll = Geocoder.geocode(addr["street"]+", "+addr["city"]+", "+addr["state"]+" "+addr["zipcode"])
	    place["location"] = Places.ttypes.Location(ll[0].coordinates[0], ll[0].coordinates[1])

	def __init__(self, exp_dict):
    	exp_dict["datetimeInterval"] = Experiences.ttypes.DateTimeInterval(remove(exp_dict, "startTime"), remove(exp_dict, "endTime"))
	    exp_dict["type"] = Experiences.ttypes.ExperienceType.OPEN
		exp_dict["place"] = self.make_place(exp_dict["place"])
    	self.obj = Experiences.ttypes.Experience(**exp_dict)

@client.request
@client.catchClientException
def addExperience(thrift, access_token, exp_dict):
    experience = Experience(exp_dict)
   	return thrift.client.addExperience(thrift.CLIENT_KEY, access_token, experience.obj)

(The two decorators corresponding to addExperience are because this is defined outside of the file where its class is declared.)

The error I'm getting is:

experience = Experience(exp_dict)
TypeError: object() takes no parameters

So this doesn't make any sense to me because I'm clearly declaring a second argument to the init function. Any help would be awesome!

Here is Experience.mro() - which says the correct module-wise location of the class Experience:

[<class 'hangify.client.exp.Experience'>, <type 'object'>]

And here is dir(Experience):

 ['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'make_place']

You've mixed tabs and spaces. __init__ is actually defined nested inside another method, so your class doesn't have its own __init__ method, and it inherits object.__init__ instead. Open your code in Notepad instead of whatever editor you're using, and you'll see your code as Python's tab-handling rules see it.

This is why you should never mix tabs and spaces. Stick to one or the other. Spaces are recommended.

I struggled for a while about this. Stupid rule for __init__. It is two "_" together to be "__"

I too got this error. Incidentally, i typed int instead of init.

I think, in many mistype cases the IDE i am using (IntelliJ) would have changed the color to the default set for Function definition. But, in my case int being another dunder/magic method, color remained same as the one which IDE displays for init (default Predefined item definition color), which took me some time in spotting the missing i.

You must press twice on tap and (_) key each time, it must look like:

__init__
