Passing Warrior as __str__

Question

I'm trying to pass the below code, but I keep getting the response that Task 1 is not longer passing. Any idea what's wrong here?
```warrior.py
from character import Character
class Warrior(Character):
    weapon = 'sword'
def rage(self):
    self.attack_limit = 20

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

Hi there!  You're doing really well here, but there are  a couple of things going on.  First, it says that the first step is no longer passing because you've included a print method with no parentheses.  This is introducing a syntax error.  However, the challenge is not looking for you to print this string, it's wanting you to return the string.  Take a look:
```python
 def str(self):
        return "Warrior, {}, {}".format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)
```
This will return the string it's looking for.  
:bulb:  For future reference:  if we had wanted to print it, it would've looked like this:
```python
 def str(self):
        print("Warrior, {}, {}".format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit))
```
Note the set of parentheses around the string to be printed.
Good luck and hope this helps! :sparkles:
