[Tutor] [Python-Help] Instancing class issue

Yeah so much I figured, same way self could be me, but what kind of
__init__ function is that that doesn't even know how many arguments it
takes, at least it should have the mandatory arguments to satisfy the
Parent __init__ function which is object but I don't even see
object.__init__(self,
**kwargs) in sdsspy's __init__ (or **keys whatever you prefer) what are
even the keyword arguments needed for instancing object. Isn't object like
THE most abstract class that becomes anything? How do I even go about
trying to instance this? (and since it calls on some printed error
obviously written somewhere in the SDSSPY how do I reach it so I'd know
what to do?)

many thanks to responders,
