It

Answer 1

module.__init__() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)

This means that you are trying to inherit from a module, not from a class. In fact, datasets.imdb is a module; datasets.imdb.imdb is your class.

You need to change your code so that it looks like this:

class imagenet(datasets.imdb.imdb):
    def __init__(self, image_set, devkit_path=None):
        datasets.imdb.imdb.__init__(self, image_set)
