Break.py not working

So i tried the code out in python shell and it does what it should do but Treehouse sais I need to try again:

My code:

def loopy(items): # Code goes here for item in items: if item == "STOP": break else: print item

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
      if item == "STOP":
        break
      else:
        print item
loopy(items)

Very, very close. The print syntax is off and the call to loopy() is throwing off the checker:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
      if item == "STOP":
        break
      else:
        print(item)  # <-- added parens
# loopy(items)
