Why I continue getting the error :
missing 1 required positional argument: 'category_id'
when the argument is already passed within query function in Backend class? I also don't understand the error of unfilled self or missing positional argument self:
missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'
I tried passing self to display_account_types() in Frontend class but it doesn't reflect. Do I need to pass self within the inner nested functions within a class?

I got and answer to this question,
I just passed in the 'self' argument to the inner nested functions of the class as below and it worked.
# functions
def add_main_accounts(self):
if self.category_id.get() == "" or self.category_type.get() == "":
tkinter.messagebox.showinfo('All fields are required')
else:
Backend.insert_account_type(self,
self.category_id.get(),
self.category_type.get()) # category type unfilled
tkinter.messagebox.showinfo('Entry successful')
def display_account_types(self):
self.trv.delete(*self.trv.get_children())
for rows in Backend.view_account_type(self):
self.trv.insert("", END, values = rows)
return
def get_account_type(e):
self.selected_row = self.trv.focus()
self.data = self.trv.item(self.selected_row)
global row
self.row = self.data["values"]
"""Grab items and send them to entry fields"""
self.category_id.set(row[1])
self.category_type.set(row[2])
