TypeError: __init__() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

I wanted to convert .coverage to lcov, but your tool is failing :( I just issued this command: coveragepy-lcov.
This is the error I got.

I originally tried https://github.com/TheCleric/coverage-lcov which is a fork of this repo but fails with the same error and doesn't seem to be maintained very actively either.

I had the same error. Try use coverage-lcov==0.2.1 with coverage==6.1.1 (install order is important):

pip install coverage-lcov==0.2.1 toml==0.10.2
pip install coverage==6.1.1

I get:

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
coverage-lcov 0.2.1 requires coverage<6.0,>=5.5, but you have coverage 6.1.1 which is incompatible.

But it works for me. I use python 3.6.6.

UPD
Simpler way:

pip install coverage==5.6b1 coverage-lcov==0.2.1 toml==0.10.2

Hi @jumasheff and @atodorov, sorry for the late reply, and thanks @aropan for the workaround.

I've just bumped the library versions and it works, at least on the coverage files I have on my machine. Could you check if the error persists?
