That odd message just means there were some syntax issues.

Here's a few hints:

  • "Hand" is in its own file (tab) named "hands.py", don't add any "Hand" code to dice.py
  • you don't need to override __init__ in Hand (and must not alter the instantiation signature!)
  • be careful with indentation, decorators should be in the same column as the definitions
