Django Forms: custom validator - not_treehouse

I can't find what is wrong with my code on this chanllenge

from django import forms
from django.core import validators

def not_treehouse(value):
    value = value.lower()
    if value.endswidth("@teamtreehouse.com"): 
        raise forms.ValidationError("no treehouse emails!")

class LeadShareForm(forms.Form):
    email = forms.EmailField(validators=[not_treehouse],)
    link = forms.URLField()
    honeypot = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput, required=False)

    def clean_honeypot(self):
        honey = self.cleaned_data['honeypot']
        if len(honey):
            raise forms.ValidationError('Bad robot!')
        return honey

When I submit, it returns an error with the message: 

 Bummer! Make sure the validator does not allow @teamtreehouse.com email addresses, regardless of capitalization.; Make sure the validator does not allow @teamtreehouse.com email addresses.

Can someone please point out why the code is not passing? thanks.

So, I just "restarted" the challenge, and re-wrote all the code from scratch, and now what I wrote passes. weird.
