My code works, checked it in my IDE but I don't pass. Means I'm cool with this task unlike you.

Hey! I know the pains. I think for quite a few, it tries to match your code to an answer, resulting in issues where sometimes things like "func myfunction ()" will be reported as wrong because there's a space between myfunction and ().

They probably try to stick to the "subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)" style to try and confuse fewer people. That way it's more standardized.

Hey, thanks for a comment. Still I think it's a bug because output value matches and there were no specifications on how-to that I ignored. Anyways, hope that dev team will figure something out, such things really freak out. Videos on pyhton are great and I really enjoy them but bugs in challenges like that make learning process much less pleasant.
