Research direction

Start with beckett/clients.py around line 194 and compare the cache setup path with the documented Pokepy resource behavior. Reproduce the traceback on the stated Python and Pokepy versions, then verify that cache initialization succeeds and client results match the resource classes shown in the documentation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The API works great!!! Unfortunately while setting up caching, I consistently get this error:

File "C:\Users\{USER}\anaconda3\envs\apps\lib\site-packages\beckett\clients.py", line 194, in __init__
    super(BaseClient, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: object.__init__() takes exactly one argument (the instance to initialize)

I am running python: 3.8.12 on a windows 10 machine, with Pokepy version 0.4.

Another small issue is for whatever reason everytime I get a return from the client it is in a list instead of the pokepy resource class (as shown in the documentation). Any ideas?
