Howdy Pythonistas! Practice is super important, especially when you are picking up a new skill. Per your request, we've added two new Practice Sessions to accompany the Python Basics (/library/python-basics) course. Even if you are farther along in your Python learning journey, I think you'll still find the practice fun and worthwhile. In Practice Input and Output (/library/practice-input-and-output-in-python) you create a MadLibs (http://www.madlibs.com/) like console application. In Practice Creating and Using Functions in Python (/library/practice-creating-and-using-functions-in-python) we test your function skills through some fun new Code Challenges. (It uses the new hinting mechanism of Code Challenges to help keep you unstuck). I hope you enjoy your practicing your Python skills!

Thank you for the additional practice. However, there are two issues with the "Get hints" page on "Practice Creating and Using Functions in Python :

Minor typo - Is should say "parameter" in the first hint; it says paramter.
It does not allow you to get an additional hint, or to "Search the forum..." due to a formatting issue on the page. This persists across browsers (Safari and Chrome, on Mac).

To reproduce, access the "Practice Creating and Using Functions in Python" page, and click "Get hints." See type, scroll down to try to access another hint. (I don't know how to attach a screenshot.)
