[CT-1326] [Bug] Python model with no arguments in the function raises index our of range exception

[chamini2]

Is this a new bug in dbt-core?

• I believe this is a new bug in dbt-core
• I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this bug

Current Behavior

Creating a Python model with a model function without any arguments ends in an list index out of range exception rather than a helpful message.

def model():
  ...

Expected Behavior

It should give a helpful message about how Python model definitions should look.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Write a Python model with no arguments in the function

def model():
  import pandas as pd
  return pd.DataFrame.from_dict({'a': [1,2,3], 'b': ['some', None, None]})

2. dbt run

Relevant log output

def model(dbt):
    import pandas as pd


❯ dbt run
