On page 19 the commented traceback in `variable_does_not_exist.py` on line 5 says “line 7” however line 7 is a comment and the error is on line 8.

Hi @JacobTomaw - thanks for reporting the incorrect line number in the inline comment.

I’ve fixed the error in the book’s source, and the next release should contain the revision.
