Build a Social Network with Flask challenge broken?

Challenge Task 3 of 4

Now create a LoginManager instance named login_manager. Then run the init_app method, passing app as the argument.

from flask import Flask, g
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager

import models

app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'asdas'

login_manager = LoginManager
login_manager.init_app(app)

And I'm getting: Bummer! TypeError: init_app() missing 1 required positional argument: 'app'

Makes no sense to me...

Looks like you are missing something at the end of login_manager = LoginManager line.
