Telegram – list.append() takes no keyword arguments

I’m trying to create a function that randomly selects 10 photos locally. After that, it sends this data array to the user in Telegram.

Here is a piece of my code.

def send_certificates(message):
    text = 'tex'
    # The path to the folder with photos
    path = 'D://PYTHON//PROGRAMM//TelegramBot//img//certificates'
    # Получаем список всех файлов в папке
    file_list = os.listdir(path)
    # We filter the list, leaving only files with the extension.jpg or .png (or other supported formats)
    photo_list = [file for file in file_list if file.endswith('.jpg') or file.endswith('.png')]
    # If there are less than 10 photos in the folder, we display a message about it
    if len(photo_list) < 10:
        print("There are not enough photos in the folder!")
    else:
        # Randomly select 10 photos from the list
        selected_photos = random.sample(photo_list, 10)
    medias = []
    # We print the names of the selected photos
    for num, png in enumerate(selected_photos):
        if num == 0:
            medias.append(InputMediaPhoto(media=png), caption=text)
        else:
            medias.append(InputMediaPhoto(media=png))
    bot.send_media_group(chat_id=message.chat.id, media=medias)

But I get this error

    You’re doing

    medias.append(InputMediaPhoto(media=png), caption=text)

    you probably meant to do

    medias.append(InputMediaPhoto(media=png, caption=text))

    In the first part of your if/else statement:

    medias.append(InputMediaPhoto(media=png), caption=text)

    you call medias.append() with the main argument InputMediaPhoto(media=png) and the keyword argument caption=text. While you didn’t post the __init__() method for InputMediaPhoto, is it possible you meant to write InputMediaPhoto(media=png, caption=text)? This would pass the media and caption parameters to the InputMediaPhoto constructor, so your syntax should be:

    medias.append(InputMediaPhoto(media=png, caption=text))
