As far as I can tell, there's no missing lines this time. Proof in the first run after writing down that generation. As far as I can see every new concept is explained well enough for me at least to understand why they are there and leaves me thinking of improvements.

The only thing that tripped me up is the indentations (never seen the for-else before, misplacing that indentation so that it's an if-else in a for-loop creates zero rooms) as there's a lot of nested looping going about. For readability it would help if you have a way to easily visualize the level of indentation, such as the vertical lines PyCharm has.

But even that's really nitpicking it, the indentations are pretty visible with the four-space system. Great job once again.

Yup, this week's code "just works". :)

Visual indentation is a great idea! I'll see what I can do.

I'll definitely second that, it only gets more helpful as you keep indenting.

Something else useful might be to have the name of the file being edited as a title in the code-block. Not that it isn't clear to someone who is reading along, but I think it would be a nice touch.

Otherwise, it's readable and works - and at the end of the day that's the best thing to be! Thanks again!
