Even after  Mickey Perlstein s answer and his 3 hours of detective work  it still took me a few more minutes to apply this to my own mess  In case anyone else is like me and needs a little more help  here s what was going on in my situation     responses is a module Response is a base class within the responses module GeoJsonResponse is a new class derived from Response   Initial GeoJsonResponse class   from pyexample responses import Response  class GeoJsonResponse Response        def   init   self  geo json data     Looks fine  No problems until you try to debug the thing  which is when you get a bunch of seemingly vague error messages like this      from pyexample responses import GeoJsonResponse      pyexample responses GeoJsonResponse py 12  in  module       class GeoJsonResponse Response         E   TypeError  module   takes at most 2 arguments  3 given                                           ERRORS                                                               ERROR collecting tests test geojson py                            test geojson py 2  in  module        from pyexample responses import GeoJsonResponse    pyexample responses  GeoJsonResponse py 12  in  module       class GeoJsonResponse Response      E   TypeError  module   takes at most 2 arguments  3 given       ERROR  not found   PyExample tests test geojson py  TestGeoJson  test api response      C  Python37 lib site-packages aenum  init   py 163        no name  PyExample  tests test geojson py  TestGeoJson  test api response  in any of       The errors were doing their best to point me in the right direction  and  Mickey Perlstein s answer was dead on  it just took me a minute to put it all together in my own context   I was importing the module   from pyexample responses import Response   when I should have been importing the class   from pyexample responses Response import Response   Hope this helps someone   In my defense  it s still pretty early

You may also do the following in Python 3 6 1  from Object import Object as Parent   and your class definition to   class Visitor Parent

In my case where I had the problem I was referring to a module when I tried extending the class    import logging class UserdefinedLogging logging     If you look at the Documentation Info  you ll see  logging  displayed as module    In this specific case I had to simply inherit the logging module to create an extra class for the logging

Your error is happening because Object is a module  not a class  So your inheritance is screwy   Change your import statement to   from Object import ClassName   and your class definition to   class Visitor ClassName     or   change your class definition to   class Visitor Object ClassName      etc
