Google app engine python error TypeError: post() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

Trying to implement a vote button with Ajax and jquery. I have the following handler for my upvotes

class Upvote(PageHandler):
    def post(self):
            logging.error("1")

And my upvote urls map to the handler like so:

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', FrontPage),
                               ('/upvote_([0-9]+)', Upvote)

Now this is giving me the error

TypeError: post() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

However 

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', FrontPage),
                               ('/upvote_2', Upvote)

works fine for upvote id 2. Can someone please tell me what I am missing here? Is the regex wrong? I'm a complete rookie so sorry if the question seems too naive. Thanks.

EDIT: Changed ('/upvote_2)', Upvote) to ('/upvote_2', Upvote)

With no knowledge of the app you are using, I assume that the regex adds captured groups (enclosed by ( )) as arguments. Removing the parentheses could solve your problem.
