Problem with code challenge

It seems like 'open' is a keyword, so is this why this isn't working?

class Store: open = 9 close = 5

def hours(self):
    return print("We're open from {} to {}".format(self.open, self.close))
method.py 
class Store:
    open = 9
    close = 5

    def hours(self):
        return print("We're open from {} to {}".format(self.open, self.close))

You are very close. The code needs to return the string and not print it:

class Store:
    open = 9
    close = 5

    def hours(self):
        return "We're open from {} to {}".format(self.open, self.close)
