error in diary.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from collections import OrderedDict
import datetime

from peewee import *

db = SqliteDatabase('diary.db')

class Entry(Model):
    content = TextField()
    timestamp = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)

    class Meta:
      database = db

def initialize():
    """Create the database and the table if they don't exist."""
    db.connect()
    db.create_tables([Entry], safe=True)

def menu_loop():
    """Show the menu"""
    choice = None

    while choice != 'q':
        print("Enter 'q' to quit.")
        for key, value in menu.items():
            print('{}) {}'.format(key, value.__doc__))
        choice = input('Action: ').lower().strip()

        if choice in menu:
            menu[choice]()

def add_entry():
    """Add an entry."""

def view_entries():
    """View previous entries."""

def delete_entry(entry):
    """Delete an entry."""

menu = OrderedDict([
    ('a', add_entry),
    ('v', view_entries),
])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    initialize()
    menu_loop()

This code doesn't seem to work... I keep getting this error:

/usr/bin/env: 'python3\r': No such file or directory

Anyone know how I should fix the code above to get rid of this persisting error? :/

Hey Benjamin Cha 👋

That error is caused by the first line of your file: #!/usr/bin/env python3. This line, called a shebang, is only needed if you want to run the script directly (like ./filename.py) instead of with the python command. The simplest fix would be to simply remove that line 🙂
