Not sure whats wrong. Compiler doesn't give me any hint as to what the error is.

method.py 
class Store():
  open = 9
  close = 18

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

Hi Maximilian, Great work getting this far... I found the Object-Oriented Python course really confusing.

I think you forgot to pass self to the method. Also, open and close are variables, so you don't need parenthesis' for them. Try this:

class Store:
  open = 9
  close = 18

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