I’m having an issue where the code times out after I enter my guess for the row. I can’t enter my guess for the column and can’t continue to the next part unless I click solution. Has this happened to anyone else?

Same here with the same error. I think it is any call to using raw_input causing the hang, no idea why though because it was working fine up until yesterday.
Submitted a bug report, recommend you do the same so it gets flagged.
Cheers

Sadly the problem still exists in September which is a shame

Thanks dr_victoria. I closed down the browser and restarted it; the traceback error now no longer returns.

same error for 3 steps of the battleship lesson, even when replacing my code with the solution. closing the working browser tab and navigating back to the lesson allowed the code to run without this error.

Still this error exists. Nice.

Hey guys. So I had the same issue and it turns out that codecademy works better with Firefox. So if you’re using the chrome browser, you may want to switch to Firefox, especially when you need to use the “raw_input” function. Hope this helps!
