TypeError: __init__() got multiple values for argument 'sides'

Hi, I am following along on Pycharm but when I try to make an instance of D6, I get this error above. Pycharm tells me that "inspection reports discrepancies between declared parameters and actual arguments, as well as incorrect arguments (e.g. duplicate names arguments) and incorrect argument order. I don't see the difference with Kenneth' code. My code is the following:

import random

class Die:
    def __init__(self, sides=2, value=0):
        if not sides >= 2:
            raise ValueError("Must have at least 2 sides")
        if not isinstance(sides, int):
            raise ValueError("Sides must be a whole number")
        self.value = value or random.randint(1, sides)

class D6(Die):
    def __init__(self, value=0):
        super().__init__(self, sides=6, value=value)
