Python

[SOLUTION] for Craig -> Kenneth transaction in Python Lists series. Lots of errors but I managed to correct them all

import os

shopping_list = []

def clear_screen():
    os.system("cls" if os.name == "nt" else "clear")

def show_help():
    clear_screen()
    print("What should we pick up at the store?")
    print("""
Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.
Enter 'HELP' for this help.
Enter 'SHOW' to see your current list.
""")


def add_to_list(item):
    show_list()
    if len(shopping_list):
        position = input("Where should I add {}?\n"
                         "Press ENTER to add to the end of the list \n"
                         "> ".format(item))
    else:
        position = 0

    try:
        position = abs(int(position))

    if position is not None:

    print("Here's your list: ")

    index = 1
    for item in shopping_list:

        index += 1

    print("-"*10)

Hey Steven, I think the code reflects the Lists section of the python collection course.
