Stuck on this task: not sure where I'm going wrong

Here's the challenge:

We're playing a popular board game about snatching up real estate in Atlantic City. I need you to finish out the Capitalism.

I don't understand where I'm going wrong here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

hands.py 
from dice import D6


class Hand(list):
    def __init__(self, size=0, die_class=None, *args, **kwargs):
        if not die_class:
            raise ValueError("You must provide a die class")
        super().__init__()

        for _ in range(size):
            self.append(die_class())
        self.sort()

    def _by_value(self, value):
        dice = []
        for die in self:
            if die == value:
                dice.append(die)
        return dice


class CapitalismHand(Hand):
    def init(self, *args, **kwargs): 
        super().init(size=2, die_class=D6, *args, **kwargs)

    @property
    def ones(self):
        return self._by_value(1)

    @property
    def twos(self):
        return self._by_value(2)

    @property
    def threes(self):
        return self._by_value(3)

    @property
    def fours(self):
        return self._by_value(4)

    @property
    def fives(self):
        return self._by_value(5)

    @property
    def sixes(self):
        return self._by_value(6)

    @property
    def _sets(self):
        return {
            1: len(self.ones),
            2: len(self.twos),
            3: len(self.threes),
            4: len(self.fours),
            5: len(self.fives),
            6: len(self.sixes)
        }

I'm not sure what is the error that the site gives you, but you need to put the dunder around init():

class CapitalismHand(Hand):
    def init(self, *args, **kwargs): 
        super().__init__(size=2, die_class=D6, *args, **kwargs)

Thank you for your response.

I added dunders, but I am still getting an error:

ValueError: You must provide a die class

I've added the die class (D6); and the code still doesn't work.

Can anyone please provide insight?

Thanks!

I set size=2 and die_class=6 in the init of the parent Hand class. That worked for me. Not sure why your approach doesn't work. Adding the doubles property in the parent class also worked for me in Task 2 of 3. However, I'm not getting Task 3 of 3 to work yet. Your approach of working inside CapitalismHand is probably better.

So looking at your code you need to put dunders under your initial init and then the init that you over ride your code should look something like this:

    class CapitalismHand(Hand):
        def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): 
        super().__init__(size=2, die_class=D6, *args, **kwargs)
