bksp() requires no arguments (one given)

Here is some code for my text editor (in progress)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39

print 'WELCOME TO CHARPY V2' import os #os detection/import msvcrt try:     import msvcrt except ImportError:     print 'ERROR: FAILED TO IMPORT MSVCRT. ARE YOU USING MAC OS X OR UNIX/LINUX?'     print 'IF SO, PLEASE USE WINDOWS FOR CHARPY V2'     quit()   #defining class for documents class doc(object):     def __init__(self): #this is the actual text         self.text = list()         self.name = raw_input('NAME YOUR NEW DOCUMENT')       def bksp():         length = len(self.text)         length = length - 1         lob = self.text[length]         self.text.remove[lob]       def edit(self):         self.isedit = True         while self.isedit:             char = msvcrt.getch()             if char not in ('<','`'):                 self.text.append(char)             elif char == '<':                 self.bksp()             elif char == '`':                #stop editing                 self.isedit = False             os.system('CLS')             print self.text   x = doc() x.edit()

For some strange reason, if I press '<', i get the error
bksp() takes no arguments (1 given)

What gives?

bksp() takes no arguments (1 given)

   def bksp():

1 2	elif char == '<':                 self.bksp()

You meant to do

1	def bksp(self):

First you can use 'platform.system()' to tell which operating system is being used.
the doc string is

Returns the system/OS name, e.g. 'Linux', 'Windows', or 'Java'. An empty string is returned if the value cannot be determined.

As far as your '<' problem, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14796...arrow-keys

I should probably proofread my code before asking about it   sorry.
