Typeerror: additional arguments should be named _, got ‘autoload’

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
_. This format helps the interpreter understand the meaning of the argument
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.
