issue using python control blocks in html templates (flask web framework)

Hi I have been trying to answer the given challenge to no avail. The challenge requires me to take an email value and hide the details then print out the email format: t***@example.com for the email test@example.com. My idea was to implement it entirely using python code in the html template using control blocks but this hasn't worked. help!!

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) %}

  {% a,b = user.email.split() %}
  {% a = list(a), c = len(a), d=a[0:1] %}
  {% for num in range(1,c) %}
  {% d.append('*') %}
  {% endfor %}
  {% d = ''.join(d) %}

  {{ d+b }}

{% endmacro %}

{% macro hide_email(user) %} {% with name, domain = user.email.split('@') %} {{ name[0] }}{% for n in name[1:] %}*{% endfor %}{{'@' + domain}} {% endwith %} {% endmacro %}
