I am writing an OOP program in Python 3 with inheritance and am running into the title error when I try to initialize the child class like so:

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, var1, var2):
        self.var1 = var1
        self.var2 = var2

    #more methods that to some stuff

class Child(Parent):
    a = 1 #a and b are class attributes
    b = 2

    def __init__(self, var1 = 1, var2 = 2, var3 = None):
        super().__init__(self, var1 = 1, var2 = 2) #error shows up for this line
        self.var3 = var3

child_obj = Child(var3 = 3)

When I create a Child object I get an error saying: TypeError: __init__() got multiple values for argument 'var1'. Anyone know what could be wrong here? Thanks in advance.

Please check your code it's wrong. You want somthing like this?

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, var1, var2):
        self.var1 = var1
        self.var2 = var2
        print(var2)

    #more methods that to some stuff

class Child(Parent):
    a = 1 #a and b are class attributes
    b = 2

    def __init__(self, var1 = 1, var2 = 2, var3 = None):
        super().__init__(var1 = 1, var2 = 2) 
        self.var3 = var3

child_obj = Child(var3 = 3)
