Did you define the `hours` method?

That is what it keeps telling, what's wrong with the code.

method.py 
class Store():
  open = 9
  close = 7

def hours():
  return print("We're open form {} to {}".format(open, close))

In order to associate a method with a class it needs to be indented, like you do when associating code with a function definition. You also need to pass each method a special argument called self. self represents an instance of the class and you'll use it to access methods and properties, like open and close in this case.
