Fitting 3d data - python-3.x

Question

I would like to fit a function to a 3d data.
I read the data with pandas:
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
Ca = df.Ca
q = df.q
L = df.L0
Then, I define my 3d function (z=f(x,y)) as:
def func(q, Ca, l0, v0, beta):
return l0 + q*v0*(1+beta/(q*Ca))
then I use curve_fit to find the best fit parameters:
from scipy.optimize import curve_fit
guess = (1,1,1)
popt, pcov = curve_fit(func, q,Ca,L, guess)
And it gives me the following errors:
ValueError: `sigma` has incorrect shape.
Do you know what is the mistake and how to solve it?
Thanks a lot for your help

Here is a graphical 3D fitter with 3D scatter plot, 3D surface plot, and 3D contour plot.
