Finally got my first Python script to run without errors

I was at the public library last Tuesday, just staring at the same 5 lines of code for an hour. A guy at the next table leaned over and pointed out I'd used a comma instead of a period in a print statement. Fixed it and it ran perfectly. Anyone else have a simple typo derail them for way too long?

Classic. Those tiny mistakes are the worst. I once spent an afternoon on a missing colon. It's always something simple.

Yeah, that missing colon pain is real, @blakeallen. I started using a linter to catch those simple things before I even run the code.
