SearchCursor object() takes no parameters

Question

Hi I'm just learning the function of SearchCursor

this is my code here

import arcpy

points = r'D:\GIS	urto\pop.shp'

with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(points,['iso_a2', 'adm0_a3']) as citycursor:
    for x in citycursor:
        print(x[0]);

and the error just show:
D: \Users\Jay\PycharmProjects\learn\venv\Scripts\python.exe D: /Users/Jay/PycharmProjects/learn/search.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "D:/Users/Jay/PycharmProjects/learn/search.py", line 10, in <module>
 with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(points,['iso_a2', 'adm0_a3']) as citycursor:
TypeError: object() takes no parameters

Process finished with exit code 1

I followed the tutorial of this one

6 - Search Cursors - Arcgis Scrpting with Python - YouTube

and I checked the syntax and other examples, all didnt help

I wonder what I do wrong

Please help me, thank you

yes, I just downloaded from the Nature Earth website for the tutorial. And as Mitch tested, the data is fine.

can the shapefile be viewed in ArcMap and can you confirm that the fields are indeed there

Hi, I can use other arcpy funtions such as search by location, so it means the arcpy in pycharm is imported correctly, right?

I'm using the python 2.7 which came with ArcGIS 10.5

I was wondering what was missing
