This produces the exact result desired in the task. It works in my local terminal on my computer, but not in Treehouse?

Can anybody help out here? It should be working fine

lists.py 
messy_list = ["a", 2, 3, 1, False, [1, 2, 3]]
messy_list.insert(0, messy_list.pop(3))
for item in messy_list:
    if type(item) is not int:
        messy_list.remove(item)
filter(None, messy_list)
del messy_list[3]
print messy_list
# Your code goes below here

Are you wring Python 2? This course is teaching Python 3.

Gotcha! That is the mistake - but it only applies to the print in this peace of code, correct?

Maybe it also applies to the is not int as well. I am not skillful at Python 2, and I never have seen that in Python 3.
