Python Development Techdegree Graduate 26,967 PointsNot sure what I'm doing incorrectly adding whitespace in the class section
Isn't there only supposed to be once space between in a class?
def first_function(arg1):
return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
def second_function(arg1):
return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)
class MyClass:
args = [1, 2, 3]
def class_func(self):
return self.args

Surround top-level function and class definitions with two blank lines.

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 26,967 PointsThanks Steven. I thought so too, but I'm still getting this error in the challenge: "Your file has 1 error(s) on line(s) 11: blank line contains whitespace."

229,787 PointsAhh, well that's something that does not show visually in your example, but apparently there's one or more spaces on the otherwise blank line 11. Put the cursor at the beginning of line 12, hit the left arrow until it goes to the end of the previous line, then hit backspace until the cursor is at the first column.
