Dave, you clearly don't know codecademy.
Please be nice to him.

To be fair to Dave he was very polite and showed the OP all the things that were needed to enable the users of this forum to help him. Very few of us are familiar with codeacademy - indeed until this thread I don't think I've come across it before. I certainly didn't know it
had its own runtime environment.

Also, I recommend the codecademy forums. They have a lot of material
about every exercise.

Posting in the most specific forum is always best so if the issue is with codeacademy that would be the best place. But I guess it would be hard for the OP to figure out if his problem is with Python or with Codeacademy...

    Wrong?
    1) your message is in html, not text.  So the formatting is messy.
      It could have been worse, so please learn how to make your email
    program behave.
    2) You didn't show your whole program.  If this is all you have in
    the file, then nothing will print because nothing calls your function.
    3) You didn't describe your environment, including python version &
    OS.  And if Oscar's conjecture is correct, all bets are off because
    most of us won't be familiar with the strange environment.
    4) I can't see how you could possibly get the message:
    'It looks like output other than yes/no does not return "Sorry, I
    didn\'t understand you."'  And in fact the last part of the message
    is different than the literal in the program, so you've got a typo
    besides.  Please use cut&paste to show your actual code, your actual
    output.

    After reading oscar's comment, my guess is that codeacademy (not
    Python) is complaining about the period at the end of your last
    literal string.
