I didn't really get the question plus it says could't import string_factory?

Can someone please check my solution and see what went wrong!

string_factory.py 
# Example:
# values = [{"name": "Michelangelo", "food": "PIZZA"}, {"name": "Garfield", "food": "lasagna"}]
# string_factory(values)
# ["Hi, I'm Michelangelo and I love to eat PIZZA!", "Hi, I'm Garfield and I love to eat lasagna!"]



def string_factory(values):
    template = "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!"
    return list(template.format(**kwargs, **kwargs))

You are not on the right track.

  1. You need to create a new list.
  2. Loop though the supplied list and create a new string by using format with the template string and the values provided. Add this string to the new list
  3. Finally return the list
