This is part of the racecar.py challenge. Tried everything possible but do not seem to get it right. Any help would be welcome!
class RaceCar:
laps=0
def __init__(self,color, fuel_remaining,laps, **kwargs):
self.color=color
self.fuel_remaining=fuel_remaining
self.laps=0
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
def run_lap(self,length):
self.length=length
self.fuel_remaining-=length*0.125
self.laps+=1

Python Development Techdegree Student 36,887 PointsHi Tobias,
You have a couple of problems here. First you have inconsistent indentation in your class (laps is indented 4 spaces, your first method is indented 3 spaces and your second method is indented 2 spaces). PEP 8 recommends that all indentation be at 4 spaces, but the exact amount is less important than that all indentation within an entity (e.g., a class) be consistent.
Second, your __init__() method signature is not consistent with what the challenge requires. It asks for the following named parameters: color and fuel_remaining. You have provided three named parameters: color, fuel_remaining, and laps.
Hope that clears everything up.
Cheers
Alex
