AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'items'

I followed along with the code in the lesson but I got back the attribution error below.

Could anyone help me with fixing this?

In "scoresheets.py", line 7, there is "hand._sets.items()", but "_sets" is a method (function). To call a method, you need parentheses after the name:

    for worth, count in hand._sets().items():

Otherwise, you could make "_sets" a property, then you don't need to call it using parentheses (probably what was intended).

Thank you! but scoresheets.py was fine then I found that I forgot putting @property , and made a typo on def _sets(self) in YaztzyHand class.

class YatzyHand(Hand):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(size=5, die_class=D6, *args, **kwargs)

    @property
    def ones(self):
        return self._by_value(1)

    @property
    def twos(self):
        return self._by_value(2)

    @property
    def threes(self):
        return self._by_value(3)

    @property
    def fours(self):
        return self._by_value(4)

    @property
    def fives(self):
        return self._by_value(5)

    @property
    def sixes(self):
        return self._by_value(6)

    @property
    def _sets(self):
        return {
            1: len(self.ones),
            2: len(self.twos),
            3: len(self.threes),
            4: len(self.fours),
            5: len(self.fives),
            6: len(self.sixes)
        }
