Despite having 2 blank lines after all functions and classes, the question is still telling me I need 2 blank lines:
import datetime
def my_func():
return "It ran!"
sizes = ["small", "medium", "large"]
class Tree:
def __init__(self, size, characteristics):
self.size = size
self.charac = characteristics
self.roots = True
self.leaves = 0
def grow_leaves(self):
self.leaves += 1
Tree(sizes[0], {"name": "Tulip Tree"})

I see this as a bug in the checker since all double quotes is valid. I will flag this as an checker error.
to move forward, change all the double quotes to single quotes.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Treehouse Moderator 67,982 PointsDevelopers: this code should pass the challenge but the checker only accepts single quotes and not double quotes when counting blank lines after
return “It ran!”
