AWX awxkit: AttributeError: 'CLI' object has no attribute 'verbose'

apiening · February 25, 2025, 8:32pm

I installed awxkit (24.6.1) in a clean Python 3.13 virtual environment.
Doing a awx --help gives me two errors:

TypeError: HelpfulArgumentParser._parse_known_args() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given
AttributeError: ‘CLI’ object has no attribute ‘verbose’

Is awxkit broken? Should I install a different version?

Hi @apiening

Personally, I don’t use AWX, but could it be related to this?

github.com/ansible/awx

awxkit/awxkit/cli/utils.py

          super__parse_known_args = super(HelpfulArgumentParser, self)._parse_known_args
          # python <=3.12.7 and ==3.13.0 have an arg count of 3
          # python ~=3.12.8 and >=3.13.1 have an arg count of 4

          if super__parse_known_args.__code__.co_argcount == 3:
              return super__parse_known_args(args, ns)
          return super__parse_known_args(args, ns, intermixed)

Hi @NomakCooper,

yes this seems to be the issue I faced.
I have created a Python 3.11 virtual environment and then it works! I will stick with this workaround until the PR is accepted since it is working fine for me now.

Thank you very much!
