The complier does not accept the answer even though my even tough the code works (tested in the python shell)

''' def loopy(items): for item in items: if (item[0] == "a"): continue else: print item '''

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if (item[0] == "a"):
            continue
        else:
            print item

Your shell must be using version 2 Python. In version 3, as used by the challenges, "print" is a function and the argument(s) must be enclosed in parentheses.
