Hi Tiffany, Trevor,

I'm the maintainer and had updated the lesson code to be Python 2 and 3 compatible.

Sorry, I forgot to update make-lesson.tar.gz (one of the perils of abusing version control by keeping auto-generated content in it!). I've done this now (1) and it's now downloadable from the lesson page and just tested under:

* Python 2.7.10 :: Anaconda 2.4.0 (64-bit)
* Python 3.5.0 :: Anaconda 2.4.0 (64-bit)

cheers,
mike

I meant to say you get those errors when you try to use python 3
with the scripts you download from the link on the lesson page:
http://swcarpentry.github.io/make-novice/make-lesson.tar.gz

So the compiled tarball there is stale and just needs to be updated.
I'm not sure who's in charge of updating those tarballs or what the
procedure is to do so, but you can always run:

$ make make-lesson.tar.gz

in a Git checkout of the make-novice repository and put the resulting
tarball on your event website for your students.

It looks like you may be having some JPG/PDF trouble with master as
well [1], but I don't understand yet why that would be due to Python 2
vs. Python 3.

Cheers,
Trevor
