Python Robot Framework Pass arguments to a function

Question

I try to use this method

def my_click(self, locator, info="click on button error", timeout=5):
    element = self.wait_for_visibility(locator, info, timeout)
    element.click()

def wait_for_visibility(self, locator, info="no error", timeout=10):
    return WebDriverWait(self.get_driver(), timeout).until(
        expected_conditions.visibility_of_element_located(locator), info)

inside robot framework file

Register Proper Data
    [Setup]    Open Browser ${web-page}    browser=${browser}
    my click  (By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "register")

but the program returns:

TypeError: find_element() takes at most 3 arguments (35 given) - which is the number of letters in the argument

Why is it happening? How to pass arguments to a keyword?

Why my click argument is in brackets? It should be without brackets and comma. Something like:

my click    By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT    register

Please ensure that there are 3-4 spaces between the function and the variables and each variable.

still the same error, I was using this function with python+selenium and it was working this way, maybe something else should be added to make it recognize the whole argument?

Jędrek, please check answer updated by A.Kootstra. Also try to call your keyword from RIDE. It will eliminate wrong amount of spaces/tabs.
