Getting a traceback when I try and run fetch_housing().

This is what I get when I run housing_url

Hi @EmmS21 , Thanks for your question. I think you're missing a "d" in "handson-ml", in the URL. Hope this helps.

try using this code:

DOWNLOAD_ROOT = "https://github.com/ageron/handson-ml2/blob/master/" HOUSING_PATH = os.path.join("datasets", "housing") ADDITIONAL_PARAM = "?raw=true" HOUSING_URL = DOWNLOAD_ROOT + "datasets/housing/housing.tgz" + ADDITIONAL_PARAM

hope this helps
