Python Python Basics (2015) Python for Beginners Create a variable

I think Treehouse does not recognize my code properly

It said create a variable named name and then assign a string value being my name so I am pretty sure that

name = "Donghyun"

should work but it says it could not find my variable.

variable.py 
name = "Donghyun"

I copy/pasted your code into the challenge and it passed. My best suggestion is to relaunch the challenge and try it again, because your code is just fine. If that fails, you need to contact the Treehouse support. This should not be failing.

Hmm still continues to fail for me. I am learning HTML at the same time but when i use the HTML workspace it works completely fine. When I'm doing python it fails to recognize the variable. I think I should contact treehouse support. Thanks for your reply :)
