Return Array by func (1) does not match size in Python

Question

I am new to python, so please bear with me. I am solving a model using odeint function in Python in which I am getting an error of The size of the array returned by func (1) does not match the size of y0 (2).. Maybe I am doing a mistake in returing args in odeint function but I have seen one related post of odeint LINK on stake overflow and that is working fine with the returning parameters. I don't know what is the problem or maybe I am getting the error in wrong direction. Correct me if I am wrong.

First, you dont seem to be using t anywhere in your 'func' function.

Second, the length of the returned set of values must match the length of Y0. Here you are returning a single value from func (1, just like the error states), and Y0 has a length of two (just like the error states).
