Why is this wrong?

I used the same code on "the shell" and it worked, I don't understand why is this wrong...

strings.py 
name = "nick"
subject = "treehouse loves {} ".format(name)

Make sure to use a capital T for Treehouse. You need to be exact in the challenges.

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