Glad to help! There's so much time to learn during quarantine! Writing tests for myself because I <3 them so much; and because they're the missing half of the code. Like camper_program.py, IPython is a REPL (Read Evaluate Print Loop :) ```bash $ pip install ipython; ipython ``` ```python >>> ? >

Thank you very much for the pull requests Wes! I got notification by email. They may be against a version that no longer exists, but no matter. We're gonna poke around live on camera, starting in about 30 minutes. We go for 2.25 hours with one or two breaks. I'm taking my campers right into my
