We need to be able to set the price of a product through a property setter. Add a new setter (@price.setter) method .

Someone tell me what I am missing?

Thanks.

product.py 
class Product:
    _price = 0.0
    tax_rate = 0.12

    def __init__(self, base_price):
        self._price = base_price

    @property
    def price(self):
        return self._price + (self._price * self.tax_rate)

    @price.setter
    def price(self, product):
        self._price = update

You have defined the setter function to take a parameter named "product", but the assignment it performs is trying to use an undefined value named "update". The name itself isn't important, but the defined parameter name must be the same as the name used in the assignment.
