I'm following along but I'm getting errors in my console?

import random

class Character: def init(self, name, **kwargs): self.name = name

    for key, value in kwargs.items():
        setattr(self, key, value)

class Thief(Character): sneaky = True

def pickpocket(self):
    return self.sneaky and bool(random.randint(0, 1))

def hide(self, light_level):
    return self.sneaky and light_level < 10

This code is returning:

kenneth = Thief('Kenneth') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: object() takes no parameters

Any help? It's code for code as it is in the videos and workspaces, though i'm getting errors.

import random


class Character:
    def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
        self.name = name

        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)


class Thief(Character):
    sneaky = True

    def __init__(self, name, sneaky=True, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(name, **kwargs)
        self.sneaky = sneaky


    def pickpocket(self):
        return self.sneaky and bool(random.randint(0, 1))

    def hide(self, light_level):
        return self.sneaky and light_level < 10

Here's a better formatted version.

Hmmm, it's working when I run it in my console.
