("{} is a lumberjack and {} is OK".format(name, name)

673 PointsIf you're on a Mac make sure you are using the right Python version 3.4 otherwise you will get this error. ( note: most Macs come with I found 2.7 installed to begin this course you must upgrade to 3.4 ) https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.3/python-3.4.3-macosx10.6.pkg
