Asher Orr
Python Development Techdegree Graduate 9,408 PointsHi Sarah! I'll tell you why:
Challenge 1 asks for only a variable called my_tuple. In your code, the variable is nested within a function. It's confusing the checker.
def my_tuple():
#delete the line above
my_tuple = ('I', 'love', 'python')
# then de-indent the line above (and the line below)
item3= my_tuple[2]
Try making those changes. Let me know if you have questions!
