The error message “Typeerror: additional arguments should be named
got ‘autoload'” is encountered when attempting to use additional arguments in a function or method call
that should have been named appropriately, but instead a generic argument name, such as “autoload”,
was used.
To resolve this issue, you need to name the additional argument following the format
within a specific context.
For example, let’s say you are trying to use the SQLAlchemy library to create a new database
connection in Python and you encountered this error. The correct way to specify an additional
argument would be as follows:
import sqlalchemy
# Create a new MySQL database connection
engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine('mysql://username:password@localhost/mydatabase',
autoload=True)
In the above example, the additional argument “autoload” is not named properly according to the
SQLAlchemy’s dialect. Instead, it should be named “mysql_autoload” to specify that it is related
to the MySQL dialect. The correct code would be:
import sqlalchemy
# Create a new MySQL database connection
engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine('mysql://username:password@localhost/mydatabase',
mysql_autoload=True)
By naming the additional argument “mysql_autoload” correctly, the error will be resolved and the
code will execute without any issues.
