How do you compare properties of an instance using a method that applies across a class?

Final challenge! Stuck! Dramatic voice!

hands.py
from dice import D6


class Hand(list):
    def __init__(self, size=0, die_class=None, *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):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(size = 2, die_class = D6) 

    @property
    def doubles(self):
        return self[0] == self[1]:      

    @classmethod
    def reroll(cls,self)
        if self.doubles() :
            return cls()

    @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 just have a typo.

I assume you're asking about the doubles method for task 2 — but I'm a bit confused since it looks like you've already started working on task 3.

Anyway, your comparison is good, but you have a stray colon (":") at the end of the line.

And that task 3 code is way too complicated — re-read the instructions and think "simple".

Oops! Good spot Mr. Parker! My question was really about task 3, which I have now completed. Your tip about this task really helped, as opposed to looking at the screen too long, which er ... didn't! Thank you again.
