Good morning, 1. Run it on different versions of python, or on different machines/OSes. That usually results in different dictionary ordering. 2. create a dict subclass that returns items always randomised. class my_fun_randomising_item_dict_subclass(dict): def items(self):

Every other reply completely failed at TDD! Write the test first to see if the URL is responding(oh, maybe test if the domain name is registered and trademarked first?)? Also, there's no best practices for python deployment... just a bunch of random hacks. You'll learn that moving to different pr
