from Tkinter import *
import random

class App:
	def __init__(self, master):
		frame = Frame(master)
		frame.pack()
		self.label = LabelFrame(frame, text='Battler III')
		self.label.pack()
		self.arena = Button(frame, text='Arena Mode', relief=RAISED, command=self.arena)
		self.arena.grid(row=4)
		self.arena.pack()
		self.adven = Button(frame,text='Adventure Mode', relief=RAISED, command=self.adventure)
		self.adven.grid(row=6)
		self.adven.pack()
		
	def arena(self, secondary):
		top = Toplevel()
		sframe = Frame(secondary)
		sframe.pack()
		self.label = LabelFrame(sframe, text='Battler III')
		self.label.pack()
		
		print('goodbye world')
	
	def adventure(self):
		print('hello world')
		
root = Tk()		
app = App(None)
root.mainloop()

What i am trying to do, is create a Tkinter application frame and apply a frame to it called frame (called sframe) and i get this error when i run it (on Python 2.6.4)

line 1410 in __call__
return self.(*args)
TypeError: arena takes exactly two arguments (1 given)

can you help me out?

in "def arena(self, secondary)" you take 2 param - "self" and "secondary"

in
"self.arena = Button(frame, text='Arena Mode', relief=RAISED, command=self.ar ena)"
you called "self.arena " with one parametr "self".
Where second parametr ?

Please use code tags when posting code. Please read the posting guidelines here.

You are defining an instance attribute "self.arena = Button(frame, t.....". Later in your code, you are defining a method "def arena(self, secondary):". Should not these objects have different names?

Note that Button keyword "command" expects a function object that takes no arguments (the "event" is automatically passed to the function). You can accomplish this by defining a closure and using a default argument.

Example (untested):

        def handler(event, parent=frame):
            return self.arenaMethod(event, parent)

        self.arenaAttr = Button(frame, text='Arena Mode', relief=RAISED, command=handler)
 
    def arenaMethod(self, parent):
        def f():
            top = Toplevel()
            sframe = Frame(parent)
            sframe.pack()
            self.label = LabelFrame(sframe, text='Battler III')
            self.label.pack()
        return f

The example I previously posted can be advantageous when you are creating a list of buttons as in:

            # ....snippet....
            self.columns = 5
            self.buttonList = []
            j=-1
            for i, t in enumerate(self.btnList):
                btn = Tkinter.Button(self.buttonFrame.widget,
                                     text=t,
                                     anchor='center',
                                     bd=3,
                                     bg='#ffffff000',
                                     fg="#000000fff",
                                     activebackground = "#000000fff",
                                     activeforeground = "#ffffff000",
                                     font=textFont3,
                                     padx='1.0m',
                                     pady='1.0m',
                                     relief='raised',
                                     state='normal',
                                     width=self.btnWidth)
                self.buttonList.append((btn, t))
                if not i%self.columns:
                    j += 1
                # Arrange buttons into columns and rows
                btn.grid(row=j, column=i%self.columns)
                def handler(event, i=i):
                    return self.__buttonHandler(event, i)
                btn.bind(sequence="<ButtonRelease-1>", func=handler)
        
        def __buttonHandler(self, event, btnNumber):
            setattr(self, 'value', self.buttonList[btnNumber][1])
            # After user makes a choice, exit the dialog box
            self.dlg1.Quit()

In your case, you can do it this way as well:

        self.arenaAttr = Button(frame, text='Arena Mode', relief=RAISED, command=self.arenaMethod(frame))
 
    def arenaMethod(self, parent):
        def f():
            top = Toplevel()
            sframe = Frame(parent)
            sframe.pack()
            self.label = LabelFrame(sframe, text='Battler III')
            self.label.pack()
        return f
