Hey Sarah Schaeffer ! :wave:

Be sure that there are no invisible "spaces" on these lines. If you click on them and the cursor is "tabbed" over to the right, be sure to delete any of those sneaky spaces. Everything else about your code looks great!! Nice! :thumbsup:

You're welcome! Yes, all of that PEP8 stuff can be extremely particular and hard to catch at first. Luckily, we can set up our own Text Editors to automatically format to this for us so we don't usually need to worry about it much :smiley:
