I have two classes, one which handles the GUI = GUI(), and one that handles the Client connection to my server = Client(). So, my error report would be:
TypeError: change_state() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)
when having a self argument within change_state() in GUI(), and calling GUI.change_state('NORMAL') from Client().
But when not having self as an argument within change_state(), I can't call other functions within the GUI class by using self. And changing GUI.change_state() to GUI().change_state
would call the __init__ method on GUI everytime.
I hope you understood a tiny bit of what I meant
