Clean a field task doesn't accept my solution

Hi Teamtreehouse

The 'clean a field' task doesn't accept my solution. It asks me to ensure that the honeypot doesn't have a length, which I do. Any suggestions?

def clean_honeypot(self): honeypot = self.cleaned_data['honeypot'] if len(honeypot): raise forms.validationError("Hooneypot should be left empty. Bad bot!")

  return honeypot
myproject/forms.py 
from django import forms


class LeadShareForm(forms.Form):
    email = forms.EmailField()
    link = forms.URLField()
    honeypot = forms.CharField(required=False, widget=forms.HiddenInput, label="leave empty")

    def clean_honeypot(self):
      honeypot = self.cleaned_data['honeypot']
      if len(honeypot): 
        raise forms.validationError("Hooneypot should be left empty. Bad bot!")

      return honeypot
