“How to fix ‘1 positional argument but 3 were given’ error in Python”

Question

import telebot

token = "8xxxxxxx7:AAElU-XhG1of3VaZMexdDIE-M2aY71CRIFk" 
bot = telebot.TeleBot(token)
bot.send_document(5xxxxxxx4, open(file.txt, 'rb'))

TypeError: send_document() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given

.send_document only takes self as an argument. Therefore, to pass arguments correctly, you'd need to just bot.send_document() (bot is self, that is exactly 1 argument). But as @vurmux says in their answer, it will break again because the method is not implemented in the base class, you need to inherit from it and implement it yourself. — h4z3

send_document is not implemented in the base Telebot class:

def send_document(self):
    raise NotImplemented("send_document needs work")

So if you want to use it, you should create the derived class and implement it manually.

You should use send_message or write the new class that is derived from TeleBot
