TypeError: crop() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 5 were given

from PIL import Image
img=Image.open('/home/ahmed/internship/cnn_ocr/image1.png')
img.size
(2458, 3504)

But when l try to crop the image as follow :

img.crop(414,122,650,338)

l got the following error : 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/code.py", line 91, in runcode
    exec(code, self.locals)
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: crop() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 5 were given

But crop() takes 4 parameter : left, top, right, bottom. What's wrong

I am also facing a same error.

x = 0
y = 0

w = 1000/3
h = 667/10

mac.crop(x,y,w,h)

TypeError: crop() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 5 were given

After, i tried below code get an output

mac.crop((x,y,w,h))

Make sure you are try again, below mentioned code to get a clear result.

img.crop((414,122,650,338))

No crop takes one explicit parameter: a 4-tuple (and implicitly of course the self). The documentation states:

Image.crop(box=None)

Returns a rectangular region from this image. The box is a 4-tuple defining the left, upper, right, and lower pixel coordinate.

Note: Prior to Pillow 3.4.0, this was a lazy operation.

Parameters:
   box - The crop rectangle, as a (left, upper, right, lower)-tuple.
Return type: Image
Returns: An Image object.

(formatting added)

So you should rewrite it to:

img.crop((414,122,650,338))
#        ^    4-tuple    ^

Furthermore you better assign the output to a variable (possibly img itself):

some_other_img = img.crop((414,122,650,338))
