What was wrong?

from web3 import Web3, HTTPProvider
web3 = Web3(HTTPProvider('http://localhost:8545'))
TheContract = web3.eth.contract(address="0x1d948e45df3337133870a238cb29a497eb7e50b6")
print(TheContract.call().transfer(web3.eth.accounts[1],100000))

This is my code , I want use this object method but It always send this to me:

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Fill this section in if you know how this could or should be fixed.

You need to provide an ABI with your contract.

I've opened #698 to try and improve this error messaging.
