So for some reason the console just keeps giving me the treehouse:`/workspace$ line when I type python wishlist.py.
It doesn't show me the code.

To facilitate replication of the issue, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

1,306 PointsThank you for replying. I have figured it out now. It was an indentation error. I am struggling with knowing when to indent and how much.
