publish_date = models.DateTimeField() not working on certain attempts

Typing in the EXACT SAME LINE sometimes gives "Bummer: Try again!" but sometimes works. Each time I flip back to the previous video for hints and I come back to the challenge task, the answer is randomly right or wrong - I'm typing in the exact same thing each time.

articles/models.py
from django.db import models

# Create your models here

class Article(models.Model):
    headline = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    publish_date = models.DateTimeField()

I tried again by typing, didn't work. Copied my code above, it worked. Typed it again, didn't work. I tried leaving NO SPACE after Field(), leaving a blank line, and leaving a blank line with indent. Maybe admins could have a look at this, I had a similar problem on another course where I had to manually add Tabs otherwise code wouldn't go through.

Copied and pasted your code a few times. Always passes. Maybe you're adding in an extra space somewhere?
