731 Pointsfile function_list.py and for some reason, I keep getting a warning telling me that function_list.py is not defined.
i can't check if my code is right because it never runs due to this error message. But then I get error messages at every turn. Here's the code.
shopping_list = ()
def show_help():
print("What should we pick up at the store?")
print("Enter DONE to stop. Enter HELP for this help.")
def add_to_list(item):
shopping_list.append(item)
print("Added: List has {} items.".format(len(shopping_list)))
show_list()
while True:
new_item = input(">")
if new_item == 'DONE'
break
elif new_item == 'HELP':
show_help()
continue
add_to_list(new_item)
continue
show_list()
I really hope this shows correctly.

731 Pointswell, that's the issue. I can't get it to run, because when I try to run the script, I keep getting the syntax error or it says, "function_list.py is not defined." . so after I type in the script name to run it, I get the error message. This is really getting disheartening. Seems like everyday I'm writing a help question.

Treehouse Guest TeacherSo you've put all of that code into function_list.py? When you try to run it, do you see >>> on the left side? If so, you're still in a Python shell and need to exit() out of it.
You have some indentation problems all over that code, btw. Make sure things are indented consistently.

731 Pointsthanks, Kenneth. I was in the python shell. my indentations were right, putting it on here is where the wheels fell off. Thanks for the help
