Selenium TypeError: __init__() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given [duplicate]

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://somelink.com/")


WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(expected_conditions.invisibility_of_element_located(By.XPATH, "//input[@id='message']"))
# Gives me an error:
TypeError: __init__() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

...

# Simply:
expected_conditions.invisibility_of_element_located(By.XPATH, "//input[@id='message']"))
# Gives me the same error.
TypeError: __init__() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

The error repeats itself whether I use By.XPATH, By.ID or anything else.

Also, find_element works just fine:

el = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@id='message']")
print(el) # returns:
[<selenium.webdriver.firefox.webelement.FirefoxWebElement (session="03cfc338-f668-4fcd-b312-8e4a1cfd9f24", element="c7f76445-08b3-4a4c-9d04-90263a1ef80e")>]

Suggestions appreciated.

Edit:

Extra parentheses () around By.XPATH, "//input[@id='message']" as suggested in the comments solved the problem.

Change this

WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(expected_conditions.invisibility_of_element_locate‌​d((By.XPATH, "//input[@id='message']")))

I have added extra () , hope this should work.
