I'm not sure why this code isn't working in the Macro challenge?

When I execute the code, I'm getting the desired response, however, I'm still getting an error message. Any help would be appreciated.

lunch.py 
from flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    class User:
        email = None
    user = User()
    user.email = 'kenneth@teamtreehouse.com'
    return render_template('user.html', user=user)
templates/macro.html 
{% macro hide_email(user) %}
    {% with name, domain = user.email.split('@') %}
      {{ name[0] }}{% for n in name[1:] %} * {% endfor %} {{'@' +  domain}}
    {% endwith %}
{% endmacro %}

Hi Diallo,

It is tough to tell from the error message, but the problem is that there is a single space between each character up to the @ symbol. If you adjust your macro to get rid of the spaces then it will work.

Thank you so much. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't pass. Thanks

Hi Diallo,

Thanks for asking this question. Your code is sweet. This question had me stumped.
