your test function to check for code in a list of anagrams for treehouse you seem to be calling the function get_anagrams('treehouse') twice.
import unittest
from string_fun import get_anagrams
class AnagramTests(unittest.TestCase):
  def test_in_anagrams(self):
    self.assertIn("house", get_anagrams('treehouse'))
  def test_not_in_anagrams(self):
    self.assertNotIn(('code', get_anagrams('treehouse')): # remove the colon 
                              get_anagrams('treehouse') # not sure why you are calling the function again here.
   # your line should look like this
    self.assertNotIn('code', get_anagrams('treehouse'))
