Treehouse Guest TeacherIt's not working because you didn't actually accept any arguments in your function.

# importing library for use
def from_json(arg):
# defining a function named from_json
# inserting object to be parsed (arg)
return json.parse()
# using the json parse method to parse the arg
return arg
# returning argument to see new value after it has been parsed

Treehouse Guest TeacherHow does return json.parse() use the json.parse() method on arg?
