TypeError: get_stats() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given) - class

Question

Trying a dnd character creator: keep getting a:TypeError: get_stats() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given). I dont know how to give the shell what it wants.
Heres the code:
import random
class Character(object):
def __init__(self,name):
self.name = raw_input('name')
# Attributes for Pathfinder
def get_stats(self):
stats = []
count = 0
while count < 6:
roll = []
roll = [random.randint(1,6) for x in range(4)]
roll = sorted(roll)
del(roll[0])
sum = 0
for x in roll:
sum += x
stats.append(sum)
count += 1
print stats
return stats
stats = get_stats()

Answer 1

In your get_stats() function, you have put self. But to fill the parantheses in the line:
stats = get_stats()
You are supposed to put None in your parantheses to prevent the error. So the line will look like:
stats = get_stats(None)
Why did add None? This means that the amount of stuff in the parantheses other than self is 0 or None. I hope this helps you!
