I just wrote a small text class in python for a game written using pygame and for some reason my default arguments aren't working. I tried looking at the python documentation to see if that might give me an idea what I did wrong, but I didn't fully get the language in the documentation. No one else seems to be having this issue.

Here's the code for the text class:

class Text:def __init__(self,screen,x_location='center',y_location='center',writeable,color,size=12):self.font = pygame.font.Font("Milleni Gem.ttf", size)self.text = self.font.render(writeable,True,color)self.textRect = self.text.get_rect()if x_location == "center":self.textRect.centerx = screen.get_rect().centerxelse:self.textRect.x = x_locationif y_location == "center":self.textRect.centery = screen.get_rect().centeryelse:self.textRect.y = y_locationself.update()def update(self):screen.blit(self.text,self.textRect)

and here's the code to call it:

from gui import *
Text(screen,75,75,currentweapon.clip)#currentweapon.clip is an integer

The error I get is this:

SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument

and points to the def __init__() line in the code. What does this error mean and what am I doing wrong here?

def __init__(self,screen,x_location='center',y_location='center',writeable,color,size=12):

You have defined non-default arguments after default arguments, this is not allowed. You should use:

def __init__(self,screen,writeable,color,x_location='center',y_location='center',size=12):
