Dear tutors,
I'm writing a program that can play Othello. Everything has been
going fine, but there is a frequently occurring problem with printing
the board with the squares filled in. Here's the code for the board:
class board(object):
def create_board(self): #Create a virtual board, that will be played on
self.board = []
for squares in range(64):
self.board.append(" ")
self.board_table =\
"""
A B C D E F G H
1 |%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|%s|

def display_board(self):
print self.board_table % self.board
v = board()
v.create_board()
v.display board()
I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My

v.display_board()

print self.board_table % self.board
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string
I tried doing:
def display_board(self):
print self.board_table % self.board[:]
But that didn't help either, and I still got the same TypeError. If you
could please figure out what's wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
