takes 21 positional arguments but 24 were given - sophsoph - Jun-20-2019
I have a positional argument issue. What needs to be changed?
Error:"line 277, in <module>

Hi,
well, the error message is crystal clear: you call a function or method with 24 arguments, but the function / method only accepts / expects 21. So your function call is wrong.
You may want to consult the documentation of the function / method you use to get more details, respectively which arguments are expected.
By the way: 21 positional arguments is super weird, no good design. For this number, the use of keyword arguments is way better. However wrote this function / method...

Just pass a dictionary to the function instead.
