Problem in Python Dictionaries: Challenge 4 of 5

Can anybody tell me why my code is not passing the unit tests of this challenge? It seems to be working fine in my local machine.

Wow, I just can't stump you! OK, two more to go. I think this one's my favorite, though. Create a function named most_courses that takes our good ol' teacher dictionary. most_courses should return the name of the teacher with the most courses. You might need to hold onto some sort of max count variable.

def most_courses(teacher_dict):
    max_count = ['name', 0]
    for key in teacher_dict:
        if len(teacher_dict[key]) > max_count[1]:
            max_count[0] = key
            max_count[1] = len(teacher_dict[key])
    return max_count[0]

Your code looks good to me, so I tried pasting it directly into the challenge and it passed!
