learnpython.org > Modules and Packages > Exercise - RUN button flags code equivalent to solution as erroneous

[RussellJQA]

In the learnpython.org tutorial's "Modules and Packages" Exercise, the RUN button flagged my exercise answer code:

find_functions = []
for function in dir(re):
	if "find" in function:
		find_functions.append(function)
	print(sorted(find_functions))

as erroneous. It complained:

Did you define the variable find_members without errors?

Yet, this code is identical (ignoring whitespace) to the solution, except that I named my variable "find_functions" instead of "find_members".

Could the code evaluation be changed to just parse the program output, instead of looking for a specific implementation?

Someone I know showed me his solution to this exercise, and I noticed that it didn't use any variable. He used a list comprehension, with a conditional clause:

print(sorted([x for x in dir(re) if "find" in x]))

I entered that, and it, too, got flagged with:

Did you define the variable find_members without errors?

Yet since list comprehensions haven't yet been discussed in the tutorial, I understand why this wasn't given as the solution.
