Help with Jinja macros

I don't see where I have went wrong. Any help?

lunch.py 
from flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    class User:
        email = None
    user = User()
    user.email = 'test@example.com'
    return render_template('user.html', user=user)
templates/macro.html 
{% macro hide_email(User) %}
  {{ User.email[0] }}{% for letter in User.email.split('@')[0][1:] %}*{% endfor %}@{{ User.email.split('@')[1] }}
{% endmacro %}

Try this:

  1. Print the first letter
  2. For each character in the first half of the email minus the first character print *
  3. Print @
  4. Print the second half of the email
{% macro hide_email(user) %}
  {{ user.email[0] }}{% for _ in user.email.split('@')[0][1:] %}*{% endfor %}@{{ user.email.split('@')[1] }}
{% endmacro %}

Actually, the only thing I can see that you are doing that I wouldn't do is passing in User rather than user.
