Treehouse TeacherHi there, Callum Anderson ! Looks like you've got started pretty well. Your function definition is going to need a parameter to hold what we're passing in. In this case, it's asking you to convert it to a string. So you will need the .dumps() method of json here.
import json
def to_json(py_dict): # accept a Python object
return json.dumps(py_dict) # convert the Python object (dict) to a string and return it
Hope this helps!
