If len(product_idea) < 3:

2,052 PointsYeah, that was the reason. I used the tab instead of spaces in one file. Thanks so much for your help! 🙌

2,052 PointsThanks. Fixed it. Still, have two exceptions: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 23, in test_exception_not_raised File "/workdir/utils/challenge.py", line 24, in execute_source exec(src) File "", line 3 if len(product_idea) < 3: ^ TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
Double checked all the spaces. Can't find the reason for this exception.

229,732 PointsI can't really check that without having the code formatted for Markdown (like the first example). But I do know that Python will work with tabs or spaces, but you can't mix them in the same file.
