Did it just like the video and I am getting it wrong. Any advice?

Can someone help me please.

doubler.py 
class Double(int):
    def __new__(self, *args, **kwargs)
        self = int.__new__(*args, **kwargs)
        return self

I just rewatched the video, and Kenneth actually doesn't pass self into def __new__: just *args and **kwargs. The self on the next line is just acting as a variable, Kenneth said you actually could name it anything, so it doesn't need to be passed into def __new__. Try removing self on your second line, and it should work!

Oh, just noticed one more thing! You're missing the colon at the end of your def __new__ as well.
