what am i doing wrong with this code challenge?

ive figured out two different ways to accomplish the goal (one with a for loop, and one without, included both in my code) and neither one work. it could be my jinja2 syntax is off, but i cant see where its wrong. any help?

lunch.py 
from flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    class User:
        email = None
    user = User()
    user.email = 'kenneth@teamtreehouse.com'
    return render_template('user.html', user=user)
templates/macro.html 
{% macro hide_email(User) %}
{% split_email = User.email.split("@") %}
{% star_list = [x for x in split_email[0][1:]] %}
{{ split_email[0][0]+"*"*len(star_list)+"@"+split_email[1]) }}
{% endmacro %}


email = "aaa@bbb.com"
split_email = email.split("@")
print(split_email[0][0]+"*"*len(split_email[0][1:])+"@"+split_email[1])
