Probably missing something obvious on the challenge, but ...

I've tried running this code in a workspace and it works just fine. Am I missing something in terms of the set-up or completion requirement?

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        print item

print() is a function so the parameters passed to it (item in this case) should be in parentheses:

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        print(item)

Dang! I feel dumb! :)

Yep, that was it! Too much Ruby programming!

Don't feel dumb. I once misspelled a word in a project and overlooked the misspelling for like hours thinking it had to be a something more complicated. ;) Coding has a way of humbling us all. Just keep at it.

Another reason not to feel dumb: that's actually the way print works in python 2. Treehouse used Python 3, which now uses print as a function.
