Compiler error, while creating pdf using pylatex - python-3.x

Question

I am using PyLaTex to create a pdf document. I'm facing some issues with compilers.
I am running my program on MacOS-High Sierra, and have installed basic version of MacTeX Mactex Download and latexmk is also installed using
sudo tlmgr install latexmk
For the following starter code, I'm getting error in compilers loop. Here's the error log attached after code.
import numpy as np
from pylatex import Document, Section, Subsection, Tabular, Math, TikZ, Axis, \
Plot, Figure, Matrix, Alignat
from pylatex.utils import italic
import os
if __name__ == '__main__':
# image_filename = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'kitten.jpg')
geometry_options = {"tmargin": "1cm", "lmargin": "10cm"}
doc = Document(geometry_options=geometry_options)
with doc.create(Section('The simple stuff')):
doc.append('Some regular text and some')
doc.append(italic('italic text. '))
doc.append('\nAlso some crazy characters: $&#{}')
with doc.create(Subsection('Math that is incorrect')):
doc.append(Math(data=['2*3', '=', 9]))
with doc.create(Subsection('Table of something')):
with doc.create(Tabular('rc|cl')) as table:
table.add_hline()
table.add_row((1, 2, 3, 4))
table.add_hline(1, 2)
table.add_empty_row()
table.add_row((4, 5, 6, 7))
doc.generate_pdf('full', clean_tex=False, compiler_args='--latexmk')
Error code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please help me understand the error and fix the same

Looks like a confusion between the compiler keyword argument, which accepts a string and compiler_args which accepts a list.
Maybe something like this is what you're after:
doc.generate_pdf('full', clean_tex=False, compiler='latexmk', compiler_args=['-c'])
