What does .create do in python?

In the CRUD Create A Function problem, the solution requires calling on Challenge.create. What exactly does Challenge.create do?

The .create() function is part of Peewee, not part of Python itself, so you have to import Peewee to be able to use it.

What .create() does is creates a new row (just a new, separate unit of data containing something that you specify) in the database that can be accessed or manipulated later. Here's the reference material from Peewee's API if you want to look into .create() a little more.

I was looking in the python documentation. No wonder I couldn't find it.

Thanks for your help.
