I was able to get it working like this...
password = "foobar"
attempt = 0
while (password != "unicorn") and (attempt <= 3):
Please we're talking Python here not C so strip out those unneeded
parenthesis.
Not so sure I agree. Python doesn't need them, but I often find code easier
to parse when the scope of binary operators is made clear via parens. The
precedence order of python is just one more thing to recall (and is
fighting for space in my head with precedence orders for a bunch of formal
languages). A bit of extra typing can save a second or cognitive lag each
time the line is read.
Best,

I think we'll have to agree to disagree. I just hate having to use my
Mk I eyeballs parsing something that I regard as noise.
