Problem with python exercise

I just started my journey with programming and I don't know what i did wrong, when I'm using shell everything seems to be good but in that exercise returns me message: Bummer! Be sure to use the {} placeholder and the .format() method. Help, please :)

strings.py 
name = "Dawid"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}"
subject.format(name)

Dawid;

There is currently a bug in the code challenge checker (we're working on it) that doesn't like submissions with an intermediate variable. You should pass fine with subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name). Post back if that is not your experience.
