That is a bit tedious. Is anyone trying to find a way to fix this?

An update — it looks like an error with our Python codex. To anyone facing this error, could you:

1. Go to http://websocketstest.com/

2. Scroll down and click on the Result ID number

3. Post the URL to that page in your comment?

This will help us locate the problem sooner. Thanks!

It should be resolved now. Sorry about that. If you just started here I suggest doing the first few Javascript lessons and then coming over to Python (my personal favorite).

Yeah, same problem here too. You’d think a site run by people trying to teach programming wouldn’t have a problem like this haha.
