The error you’re getting happens because your code breaks before your class is finished being defined (I think).

The issue is that your for...in loop is not indented properly. As a class is a collection of properties and methods, your for loop has to be nested inside a method.

Once you correct that, the python interpreter will be able to read all of the code for your class definition, and the test that treehouse is using to verify your code will be able to detect your class.
