What's wrong with my code?

Can't figure out what's wrong with the permissions attribute on the Meta class. When checking my code it throws me:

Bummer: Try again!

products/models.py 
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.db import models


class Product(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    description = models.TextField()
    price = models.DecimalField()
    discount = models.DecimalField(blank=True, null=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse("products:detail", kwargs={"pk": self.pk})

    class Meta:
        permissions = (
            ("can_give_discount", "...")
        )
products/views.py 
from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin
from django.views import generic

from . import models


class List(generic.ListView):
    model = models.Product


class Detail(generic.DetailView):
    model = models.Product


class Create(LoginRequiredMixin, generic.CreateView):
    fields = ("name", "description", "discount", "price")
    model = models.Product

The class Meta permissions tuple has an issue-- you need an extra comma after the tuple. One of the odd parsing features of python is that it can't tell a single element tuple from an expression until there is another comma following it.

This should fix it.

class Meta:
        permissions = (
            ("can_give_discount", "..."),
        )
