#
fig.legend(

labels = labels,
...)
**Actual outcome**
<!--The output produced by the above code, which may be a screenshot, console output, etc.-->If applicable, paste the console output here
~/Python/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib/figure.py in legend(self, *args, **kwargs)
1523 '(artist handles, figure labels, legend location)')
1524
-> 1525 l = Legend(self, handles, labels, **kwargs)
1526 self.legends.append(l)
1527 l._remove_method = lambda h: self.legends.remove(h)
TypeError: init() got multiple values for argument 'handles'
