PeeWee Python Help

Question: Create a function named create_challenge() that takes name, language, and steps arguments. Steps should be optional, so give it a default value of 1. Create a Challenge from the arguments. create_challenge should not return anything.

Code:

crud.py 
from peewee import *
from models import Challenge
def create_challenge(name, language, steps):
    name = CharField(max_length=100)
    language = CharField(max_length=100)
    steps = IntegerField(default=1)

You don't need to define the model here, just create it using the Challenge model that is being imported. Since Challenge extends Model, you can call the create method on it.

So what would this look like in code?

From the peewee docs: http://peewee.readthedocs.org/en/latest/peewee/api.html#Model.create

Note that you won't need to capture the return for this challenge.
