Hi,

Seems that this project may be relatively new, but I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong. I even looked at the solutions jupyter notebook and copy pasted the exact same answers I was giving, but I’m receiving the same error below for task #3 despite already defining it in task #1. What am I doing wrong?

NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 paintings = list(zip(paintings, dates))
2 print (paintings)

NameError: name ‘paintings’ is not defined

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @rinker, welcome to the forums! Can you post your full code, please? And a screenshot of your IDLE/text editor?

Did you run the cells above? (the lists–paintings and dates)?

Also, look at your print() statement.

I am getting this same error. When I run the code in IDLE (ipython terminal), it works fine. I’m not sure why it is not working in Jupyter.

#6

Is there an extra space in your print() statement like the person above?

#7

No. This is the code getting an error.

paintings = [‘The Two Fridas’, ‘My Dress Hangs Here’, ‘Tree of Hope’, ‘Self Portrait With Monkeys’]
dates = [1939, 1933, 1946, 1940]
paintings = list(zip(paintings, dates))
print(paintings)

And the code cells above were fine? Maybe run them again, or, restart the kernals in the notebook.

(I ran the code in Colab and had zero issues.)

#9

Restarting the kernals worked. I thought it was strange that it worked in IDLE, but not Jupyter. I hope this helped @rinker

Sometimes they time out. It happens! :slight_smile:
I was going to say, I just ran my code in jupyter and had no issues.

I had the same problem. Solving it when running each cells again from the top. If you don’t run first your defined variable of paintings in task 1 you will get the error in task 3.
