from flask import Flask, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    class User:
        email = None
    user = User()
    user.email = 'kenneth@teamtreehouse.com'
    return render_template('user.html', user=user)

templates/macro.html

{% macro hide_email(User) %}
    {{ form.hidden_tag() }}

If the email address is 'name@domain.com' you can split it like this

name, domain = string.split('@') that'll give you name = 'name' and domain = 'domain.com'.

You can do this entire challenge just in the templates/macro.html file. You don't need to modify the Flask app at all.

Here are your steps:

Split the email address into its two main parts
Print the first letter of the "name" part of the email
Print asterisks for the remaining letters
Print the @ symbol
Print the domain name

Done!
