Since loopy is just the name of the function that your setting up, you can't call loopy yet. Instead you call for item in items.
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
if item == "STOP":
break
else:
print(item)
This worked for me. Hope it helps!

To fix your code, indent the if statement to match the print statement. Also, the print should come after the if so the loop is broken on "STOP" without printing "STOP". The print ` statement needs parens.
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
if item == "STOP":
break
print(item)
