How to derive a class from st7789.ST7789 ?

[mhgue]

The straight forward way I thought is

from st7789 import ST7789
class ST7789_ext(ST7789):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

But this fails with "TypeError: function doesn't take keyword arguments" but constructing like this works with keywords:

 self.display = st7789.ST7789( self.spi, 240, 240, dc=Pin(8, Pin.OUT), reset=Pin(12, Pin.OUT),
                                      cs=Pin(9, Pin.OUT), backlight=Pin(13, Pin.OUT) )

Why are keywords not taken if used as a superclass ?

I am using a RP2040 with MicroPython 1.21 and latest st7789 build in.

I will look into this.

Yes, that looks pertinent. Thanks for the pointer.
