Creating tables task 3 of 4: "bject has no attribute 'name'

from peewee import * db=SqliteDatabase("challenges.db") def Challenge(Model): name = CharField(max_length=100, unique=True) language=CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)

Yields the following error:

Bummer! bject has no attribute 'name'

tables.py 
from peewee import *
db=SqliteDatabase("challenges.db")
def Challenge(Model):
    name = CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)
    language=CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)

You are really close!

Instead of making a function with "def", you should be using "class". You also don't need the "unique=True" argument.

from peewee import *
db=SqliteDatabase("challenges.db")
class Challenge(Model):
    name = CharField(max_length=100)
    language = CharField(max_length=100)

Absolutely not embarrassing -- this kind of stuff happens to every programmer, especially when you're learning something new!
