I got another "Task 1 is not passing" error message. That doesn't help me find out what I did wrong in this task.

I don't know what error I have made in my code. Can you advise? Thank you.

warrior.py 
from character import Character
class Warrior(Character):
    weapon = 'sword'
    attack_limit = 0

    def rage(self):
        self.attack_limit = 20

    def __str__(self):
        print "Warrior, {}, {}".format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)

you need to return the string, not print it:

from character import Character
class Warrior(Character):
    weapon = 'sword'

    def rage(self):
       self.attack_limit = 20

    def __str__(self):
        return "Warrior, {}, {}".format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)

Thank you. I have to get clear in my mind that redefining str involves returning instead of printing a string. I made this error earlier. Hopefully I will remember next time. :-)

Sorry about the "Task 1 no longer passing" messages. I literally cannot change them. :(
