[Tkinter] Arguments in function for button command

[kristrek]

New to Python. No matter what I enter, it doesn't like the arguments in the function. Appreciate any help.

Error:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1536, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
TypeError: go() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)

The function is inside a class and the command for a button. It takes entries from two entry boxes and a spinbox. The time part works fine separately, and it does get the spinbox info ok.   

def go(self):
        def time():
            e1= entry1.get()
            e2= entry2.get()
            run_time_min= float(e1)
            run_time_sec= float(e2)
            time= run_time_min * 60 + run_time_sec
            return time
        
        def calc():
            sb1 = spinbox1.get()
            if sb1 == '8mm':
                feet=time/fpsecs8
                print feet
            elif sb1 == 'Super 8':
                feet= time/fpsecss8
                print feet
            elif sb1 == '16mm':
                feet= time/fpsecs16
                print feet
            elif sb1 == '16 Sound':
                feet= time/fpsecs16s
                print feet

You aren't showing enough code.
Where is your class definition, and the code that calls it ?
Your passing args, but the functions that you are showing don't receive any

[kristrek]

Sorry. Here's more.

Edit admin:
Use code tag,look BBcode help.

Did you import tkinter like

from tkinter import *

[kristrek]

Yes. It makes the window and fields correctly, but fails when pressing the calculate button.

There is no 'go' command

[kristrek]

It's the command for the calcButton.

[Larz60+]

Didn't find it first time

you need

def go(self, event):

[kristrek]

Error:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1536, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)

I had tried that before, and it still gives the above error.

[Larz60+]

also need

command=self.go
