Hm. I fixed the indentation like you said, and it worked fine. The only reason I changed the indentation to what you saw in the first place is because Codecademy's Python engine registered an error. However, repl.it accepted the script. I have concluded that the original mistake was actually on the Codecademy site instead of my script. Thanks for helping me out. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
