When you get a traceback, you look at "Error Type", "Error Value"
and usually a few traceback lines near the traceback end.

In your case, in line 68 of "getDataForWeeklyReport.py"
an object (instance) is created with one missing argument.
The constructor (__init__) wants 3 arguments but it is called
with only one.
Note, that the first parameter, is provided automatically,
unless "__init__" is called explicitly. Thus, your
code probably contains something like:

     <class>(arg)

where "<class>" is the name of a Python class.
