I'm doing the quiz associated with the Days in Month part of unit 3. But there is something wrong with the python interpreter. When I open it, if I don't even modify the existing code at all and just hit run, it hangs forever on "working". If, while this is going on, I press another button, I get a dialogue box that says "something bad happened when communicating with this website." This happens in Chrome and in Safari. I've tried deleting cookies and cache, restarting computer, etc. Any advice? |

Your code may have an infinite loop. Please double check it to make sure that there is NO possible case where it won't return the expected value. If you want you can post your code and we can help you find it. |

Currently, the online python interpreter is not working correctly due to high traffic. There are numerous threads in the forums about this but at the rate new questions get posted, those threads keep getting buried. It's highly likely your code is fine but until the site issues get resolved, you'll have to use another python interpreter for testing. |

When 'that' happens I type the code into another python interpreter, make sure it works as required, then copy and paste it back to the browser and click Submit. The Submit appears to work fine. Good luck! |

Here's an example (among many) of code that is hanging: Here's another I've even tried using a different computer. No help. When you post code, you want to make sure it's formatted properly so we can read it. |

bdme, I'm in the same situation. I'm hoping Udacity will send out some sort of "ALL CLEAR". It's been 20 hours since I got stuck where you are and I just checked and I still can't get anything to work. It would really help if there were something in the announcements indicating there's a problem that Udacity is working on. Or tweets (since the one 16 hours ago saying the increase in traffic is causing troubles) or any update on facebook or G+ (other than to announce the new classes). I found the new site design this morning when I logged in. But getting into the course work for me means unit3.3 (days of the month problem) and if I plan on answering it, I cannot proceed. The interpreter hangs. Sigh... Frustrated by the lack of official response on this. |

I agree - seems to be a high traffic issue - i use another Python IDE = PyScripter , run and test the code then copy it into the web interpreter for submission. If you have a PC and have installed Python then u can use IDLE the Python Interpreter that comes with it |
Udacity is working to fix the interpreter, there´s a lot of traffic on servers, we need to wait.. =)
