TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given

Question

I know this title look familiar to some old questions, but I’ve looked at every single one of them, none of them solves. And here is my codes:

TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given

The debugger caught an exception in your WSGI application. You can now look at the traceback which led to the error.
To switch between the interactive traceback and the plaintext one, you can click on the "Traceback" headline. From the text traceback you can also create a paste of it. For code execution mouse-over the frame you want to debug and click on the console icon on the right side.

You can execute arbitrary Python code in the stack frames and there are some extra helpers available for introspection:

dump() shows all variables in the frame
dump(obj) dumps all that's known about the object

My classes are as follow:

Models.py

from app import db
from datetime import datetime


class Post(db.Model):
    post_id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    title = db.Column(db.String(100))
    text = db.Column(db.Text())
    created_time = db.Column(db.DateTime())

    def __init__(self, title, text, created_time=None):
        self.title = title
        self.text = text
        if created_time is None:
            self.created_time = datetime.utcnow()
        else:
            self.created_time = created_time

views.py

from app import app, db
from flask import render_template, request, url_for
from forms import CreateForm
from models import Post


@app.route('/')
def homepage():
    return render_template('base.html')


@app.route('/create', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def create():
    form = CreateForm(csrf_enabled=False)
    if request.method == 'GET':
        return render_template('create.html', form=form)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        if form.validate_on_submit():
            create_post = Post(form.title.data, form.text.data)
            db.session.add(create_post)
            db.session.commit()
    return redirect(url_for('homepage'))

I have tried with all possible solution and checked my code for spelling mistakes.But I found none.

The error

TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 3 were given

happens at the code

create_post = Post(my_form.title.data, my_form.text.data)

Instead of passing position arguments to the creation of the Post object, pass keyword arguments:

create_post = Post(title=my_form.title.data, text=my_form.text.data)
