TypeError: __init__() takes from 1 to 6 positional arguments but 7 were given

Question

I am using multithreading concept in my script. But I am getting the above error while running the script. I used the same code in python 2.7 and it worked fine but in python 3.6 it is giving me error. Could you please help me how to solve this?

Code Which I am using-

class ThreadWithReturnValue(Thread):
    def __init__(self, group=None, target=None, name=None,
                 args=(), kwargs={}, Verbose=None):
        Thread.__init__(self, group, target, name, args, kwargs, Verbose)
        self._return = None
    def run(self):
        if self._Thread__target is not None:
            self._return = self._Thread__target(*self._Thread__args,
                                                **self._Thread__kwargs)
    def join(self):
        Thread.join(self)
        return self._return

May be syntax is different in python 3.6 Please help me to solve this error.

Error:

Well, I did a trial of ignoring Verbose in Thread.__init__() Then it works fine to my end. Find my demo code and output. Prior Python<3 used Verbose in Thread but after 3.x+ Verbose is ignored.

from threading import Thread

def foo(bar):
    print('hello {0}'.format(bar))
    return "foo"

class ThreadWithReturnValue(Thread):
    def __init__(self, group=None, target=None, name=None, args=(), kwargs={}, Verbose=None):
        Thread.__init__(self, group, target, name, args, kwargs)
        self._return = None

    def run(self):
        if self._target is not None:
            self._return = self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)

    def join(self, *args):
        Thread.join(self, *args)
        return self._return


twrv = ThreadWithReturnValue(target=foo, args=('world!',))
twrv.start()
print(twrv.join())

# Output
# hello world!
# foo
