Python Using Databases in Python Gettin' CRUD-y With It CRUD: Create Function

Am I missing something?

I've created a function 'sys.stdin.read()' that is supposed to capture the name, language and steps arguments. I've tried using lists in 'sys.stdil.read([name, language, steps])' but to no avail

crud.py
from models import Challenge
import sys

def create_challenge(name, language, steps):
    data = sys.stdin.read([name, language, steps])
    Challenge['name'] = data[name]
    Challenge['language'] = data[language]
    Challenge['steps'] = data[steps]

This is more of a question than an answer, but could this be part of why things didn't run?

from models import Challenge # could the fact that challenge is capitalized be an issue?
import sys

I am humbly asking / suggesting

Hi! You don't need sys the arguments are already being passed in and are accessible inside of your function. The second part is to create a challenge and pass in the values. The steps argument should also have a default of 1.

def create_challenge(name, language, steps=1):
    Challenge.create(name=name, language=language, steps=steps)
