Python for Beginners: Why do I get TypeError?

Have you ever gotten stuck debugging a TypeError and wished you had a bulletproof strategy to solve it? I'll show you exactly how to do that. Welcome to Pumping Python, my name is Jacob Itegboje, and in this video, I'll walk through a real-world, step-by-step guide to causing, testing, and fixing TypeErrors in a Test-Driven Development (TDD) project using Python's built-in unittest framework.

I'll show you how to stop guessing and start writing reliable, maintainable code by leveraging the power of TDD. We will cover the three core causes of TypeError: non-callable objects, mismatched function signatures, and unsupported data type operations, all within a practical, hands-on TDD workflow.

Here is a breakdown of what you'll learn:
Setting up our TDD environment: We start by creating a failing test that reproduces the TypeError before we even write a single line of production code.
The TDD cycle in action: You'll see how to write a test first, watch it fail, then write the minimal amount of code to make it pass. This repeatable process ensures your fixes are robust and your code is always stable.
Understanding the root causes: We’ll analyze different TypeError scenarios, from calling None like a function to adding incompatible data types, and use tests to confirm our solutions.
