"Hello World" throws error!

I’m trying to start the User Configuration challenge in the python course, but I get errors even on the simplest code.

I tried a simple “hello world” script:

print('hello world')

and while everything looks fine in the console, I get this output from the checker:


1 print('hello world')

Your code raised an error before any tests could run. Please fix it and try again.

And it doesn’t run any tests from the console. This feels like a bug rather than an error on my part. It feels like it’s actually running something else with a syntax error, something that’s stored in a cache somewhere.

Any suggestions?

Tests are attempting to call functions that are not yet written, causing the error.
