This is a follow up to the mail that Jenny just sent.



As she said: please follow the submit instructions VERY carefully.



In addition: we are using python3 on the rpi that has been setup for you.

Therefore: if your code does not run on the rpi, with python3, and with the 

modules that are installed by the update script, then your code is broken. 

The TAs should not waste their time installing packages.

By design, the packages that are installed are sufficient for the homeworks.

If you would like additional packages to be installed, let me know and I 

will ask Professor Lipman to add them to the list of packages to be added 

next time you (and everybody else) runs the update script.

Do not install packages with "pip3".  Prof. Lipman warned me that in the 

past this has caused instabilities and incompatibilities.



Last but not least: I cannot stress enough how important it is to comment

you code.
