Python object method is seeing self argument as missing - python-3.x

Question

I am making a text based game to teach myself python. I try to access the attribute of an object stored in the player object. The object is a copy of the map data object representing their position on the map.
When i run the function as it is, when the look method of the player object is called, the method sees the self argument as a missing argument. If I try to access the room data stored in the player object and pass it in (which doesn't seem right anyway as it should already be in the object instance), it then says the attribute doesn't exist. After the program crashes, in the interpreter I can access the attribute without error. I don't understand what I am doing wrong.
class quadPoint:
def __init__(self, data):
self.pointData = {'description' : '', 'west': '','east': '',
'north': '','south': ''}
self.exits = []
self.inventory = []
self.pointData['description'] = data[0]
self.pointData['west'] = data[1]
self.pointData['east'] = data[2]
self.pointData['north'] = data[3]
self.pointData['south'] = data[4]
def addItem(self, item):
self.inventory.append(item)
def addExit(self, ext):
self.exits.append(ext)

the error message is:

File "/home/groundscore/pytextrpg.py", line 117, in start
print(player.look( 'description'))
TypeError: look() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

Answer 1

aruisdante beat me to the immediate answer. A deeper problem, and the reason for the particular error message is using the same lowercase word for both class and instance thereof. If the player class were Player, then print(player...) would have failed with NameError: name 'player' is not defined and you would not have seen the confusing message that resulted from player.look being resolved as the look attribute of the player class.
Also, game = game() is more confusing than game = Game(), and prevents further access to the game class by its name.

Answer 2

I'm not exactly sure if you're properly describing your error (it would be helpful if you included the exact error text, not your description of it), but certainly here:
print(player.look( 'description'))
Should instead be:
print(self.player.look( 'description'))
As player is an attribute of the game class. Also, you should not use is for string comparisons, you should use ==.
