outside of the string passed to the message variable in the call to dict my code is exactly the same, I didn't have any luck with the version above this so I coded this instead. As far as the syntax error, I would be happy to know where it is as I can't see it. And yes the trace is pointing to a piece of code that doesn't show in my file. non-keyword arg after keyword arg (default.py, line 14) and line 14 is the last line of my code that I am showing here. *return dict(message="hello", session.counter)* * * I haven't worked on this since earlier today, but I wanted to reply.
