    34  1. Inside that directory create a Python package named geddit by doing the following:
     34 2. Inside that directory create a Python package named geddit by doing the following:
    3535  * Create a `geddit` directory
    3636  * Create an empty file called `__init__.py` inside the `geddit` directory
    37  1. Inside that package, create a file called `controller.py` with the following content:
