Python Customizing the Django Admin Customizing the List View Test: Custom Filters

[Customizing django admin] SimpleListFilter Error!

Create the queryset method. Remember that this method takes in self, request, and queryset as arguments. In the method, check to see if self.value() returns anything. If it does, .filter() the queryset for records where the title contains the value. Use contains for the comparison.

=> I don't Know why it's Error!.

This is my error:

     **Bummer! The queryset() method needs to call filter() on its 'queryset' argument.**

Please help me?

Just need evaluate self.value() existence and filter title that contain it.

    def queryset(self, request, queryset):
        if self.value():
            return queryset.filter(title__contains=self.value())        

Hope it helps.
