28,770 PointsError: '/' gave a non-200 response.
route in the decorator isn't changed, function name isn't changed, and this appears to fit the challenge terms.
Also having some strange behavior in workspaces, where the flask app was running but I wound up back at the command line and I can't launch it again -- it says the address is already in use. In case that's somehow related.
from flask import Flask
from flask import request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
@app.route('/<name>')
def index(name="Bob"):
return "Hello {}".format(name)
So if you remove the default for name in index() it responds with non-200 response. If it's set to any value for default, though, I get an unexpected response error.
Any help would be appreciated.

Treehouse Guest TeacherYeah, this challenge is all about the query string.

28,770 PointsThis task is asking us to import request, so I should have been using request.args.get, not pulling the arguments from the route wrapper.

28,770 PointsOn a completely unrelated note, I'm pretty sure Tron was awesome, so you might want to update your introduction in the logging or pdb video in the Python course to reflect that, sir.
END OF LINE.

Treehouse Guest TeacherTRON was awesome (actually loved both movies). He didn't "shrink down" in TRON, though, he was digitized. :D

28,770 PointsOh yeah! MCP proved that conservation of information doesn't stop even when you're converted to pure energy. So way ahead of string theory.
If it was Inner Space, though, you're dead on.
