https://github.com/indykoning/PyPi_GrowattServer

On that page they have an example using plant_detail:

api.plant_detail(plant_id, timespan<1=day, 2=month>, date)

Problem here is there is no type annotation telling us what timespan or date are supposed to be. Looks like timespan can be 1 or 2.

Next I look though the examples. Unfortunately, there are none that use plant_detail.

Finally, I look at the source code. I see that Timespan is an enumerated type defined by the module,

class Timespan(IntEnum):
    hour = 0
    day = 1
    month = 2

    def __get_date_string(self, timespan=None, date=None):
        if timespan is not None:
         assert timespan in Timespan

        if date is None:
          date = datetime.datetime.now()

        date_str=""
        if timespan == Timespan.month:
            date_str = date.strftime('%Y-%m')
        else:
            date_str = date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

        return date_str

    def plant_detail(self, plant_id, timespan, date=None):
        """
        Get plant details for specified timespan.
        """
        date_str = self.__get_date_string(timespan, date)

        response = self.session.get(self.get_url('PlantDetailAPI.do'), params={
            'plantId': plant_id,
            'type': timespan.value,
            'date': date_str
        })
        data = json.loads(response.content.decode('utf-8'))
        return data['back']

From this you can see that date is a datetime object and timespan is a Timespan object. Using assert is poor coding in my opinion, but the test here is to verify that the timespan argument is a Timespan object. You have to pass something like Timespan.day or Timespan.month. You cannot pass 1 or 2.

What's funny is you probably won't get this error if you run your program from the command line. When Python compiles your program into bytecode it will likely remove the assertion. This does not happen when you run your program from an IDE like VSCode, pycharm, spyder...

1. It seems really odd that it won't accept "1" or "2"
   
2. Given that it won't accept these, the function description api.plant_detail(plant_id, timespan<1=day, 2=month>, date) seems totally unhelpful and positively misleading.
   
3. I had to put a definition of Timespan into my main program to get it to work. Else I get NameError: name 'Timespan' is not defined
