It's indeed not a problem coming from the tests so the issue is no longer relevant about this specific Kata.

Thanks, I'll open an issue there ! Great kata by the way, still a lot of work to do to actually make it pass for real !!

That's very bizarre. I wrote this years ago. Maybe Jake Hoffner or someone at Codewars staff could take a look? https://www.codewars.com/topics/bug-reports

your'e right.

I see where i went wrong though, I used 'string' in my last line, instead of the variable 'phrase'.

Isn't it System.Globalization?

Sorry for not reviewing your wall of codem but 500+ successful python comlpletions suggests that the issue is in your code, not in the kata.

I also updated the python version to 3.8, although again, that was most probably not your problem.

For me, it was because I was checking for empty code before the flush. Flush should be executed 'before execution', so it has to be the first thing that happens.

i wish i could write code this elegant

Using String.prototype works slightly different than creating a normal function. Try googling about it. You have some other typos in your code spilt being one and the methods use () instead of []. I hope you can work it out with this.

Thanks!! It was all so simple
