Lesson's source code

Dear Kenneth, would it be possible to have the code source for the lesson as an attachment so I could print it and exercise myself to type it before following you as you type onscreen?

If your still waiting for a copy of the code for this task here is a copy of what he wrote:

shopping_list = []

def show_help():
  print ("What should we pick up from the store?")
  print ("Enter SHOW to see current list or DONE to end list.")
  print ("Enter HELP to see this information again.")

def add_to_list(item):
  shopping_list.append(item)
  print ("Added! List has {} items".format(len(shopping_list)))

def show_list():
  print ("Here is your list:")
  for item in shopping_list:
    print(item)

show_help()

while True:
  new_item = input("> ")
  if new_item == 'DONE':
    break
  elif new_item == 'HELP':
    show_help()
    continue
  elif new_item == 'SHOW':
    show_list()
    continue

  add_to_list(new_item)
  continue

show_list()

PS: Sorry of its a little late.
