py3.shell on Mac prints Treehouse loves Tes [print("string".format(name))] however session keeps failing

I've made many attempts to figure out why challenge task 2 of 2 fails. On a Mac I'm able to generate Treehouse loves Tes based on [>name = 'Tes' >print('Treehouse loves {}'.format(name)).

strings.py 
name = 'Tes'


print("Treehouse loves {}".format(name))

Hi there.

While your code indeed outputs Treehouse loves Tes, that's not what the challenge is asking. You're supposed to assign the String to the variable named subject.

name = 'Tes'
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

That's all you have to do to pass the challenge.
