I don't get this exercise.

stuck as usual.

method.py 
class Store:

    open=1
    close=2

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

You're very close. Classes use self a lot so you just need to add self. to open and close inside the parentheses of format.

Also, your argument to the hours method needs to be self.

class Store:
    open = 9
    close = 8

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

In addition to this don't use open as a variable name. open is built in to the python language and redefining it could cause some strange behavior later on.
