NameError: name '​' is not defined when upload the "Lopy to Lopy" example



  • I can run the "Lopy to Lopy" example code from Atom on my FiPy, but when I do the upload from Atom I get the "NameError: name '​' is not defined" error on line 4. Line 4 is a blank line in the example. Looking for some help please.

  • Hi @grideagle,

    Thank you for reporting that, I've reported it to GitBook. The current workaround is to use the "copy" button it the top right corner of the code section.



  • I think I found the problem. For some reason there were extra unprinted characters added to the blank lines when doing the copy-paste from the example documentation.
