  1. NameError “Print” not defined. Should be lower case print

A traceback or stacktrace is the Python interpreter giving you a source if the error. It can have many layers if the error occurred in a lower level function. A simple example:

>>> int('h')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'h'
