help needed on the Capitalism,the game 2/3

I'm not sure how I can compare the values so that I can determine if they are doubles or not. My doubles property in the code is wrong.

hands.py
from dice import D6


class Hand(list):
    def __init__(self, size=2, die_class=D6, *args, **kwargs):
        if not die_class:
            raise ValueError("You must provide a die class")
        super().__init__()

        for _ in range(size):
            self.append(die_class())
        self.sort()

    def _by_value(self, value):
        dice = []
        for die in self:
            if die == value:
                dice.append(die)
        return dice


class CapitalismHand(Hand):
    @property
    def doubles(self):
        if self._by_value[0] = self._by_value[1]:
            return True
        else:
            return False

    @property
    def ones(self):
        return self._by_value(1)

    @property
    def twos(self):
        return self._by_value(2)

    @property
    def threes(self):
        return self._by_value(3)

    @property
    def fours(self):
        return self._by_value(4)

    @property
    def fives(self):
        return self._by_value(5)

    @property
    def sixes(self):
        return self._by_value(6)

    @property
    def _sets(self):
        return {
            1: len(self.ones),
            2: len(self.twos),
            3: len(self.threes),
            4: len(self.fours),
            5: len(self.fives),
            6: len(self.sixes)
        }

You've got the logic absolutely right! But 'self' (all by itself) is the whole list, so you don't need to call the '.by_value' function. Just compare the two items in 'self'.

Thank you, your comment help me solve the challenge. I had the same issue
