Please find the error in my code

There must be an error in this; I keep getting 'Bummer! Try again!' but I cannot spot it. Help welcome!

myproject/forms.py 
from django import forms


class LeadShareForm(forms.Form):
    email = forms.EmailField(validators=[not_treehouse])
    link = forms.URLField()
    honeypot = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput, required=False)

    def not_treehouse(value):
        value = value.lower()
        if value.endswith('@teamtreehouse.com'):
            raise forms.ValidationError('Walk over and say it in my face!')
        return value

    def clean_honeypot(self):
        honey = self.cleaned_data['honeypot']
        if len(honey):
            raise forms.ValidationError('Bad robot!')
        return honey

I did exactly what you advised here... but it doesn't pass still. Have checked to have the right amount of indentation after moving it.

...ah, now it works. I put it above the class, so it exists before the class calls it.

Thank you James!
