My programming assignment lab doesn't open correctly

I was working smoothly in the laboratory for this week’s programming assignment until I tried to print out the output for one of the dictionaries, specifically the emission_counts. Since then I’m not able to open the lab and keep working on it.

When trying to open it gets frozen like this, I can’t press any button and practically do nothing.

After a while the browser shows a warning saying there’s not enough memory, I know the problem is the print I mentioned, as the dictionary is too big to print. I just want to delete that cell and keep working on the assignment, but I can’t

You may have to get a fresh copy of the notebook (from the Help menu) and start over.

But first you could try restarting the kernel, or restarting the server.

I just can’t :sweat_smile:. Since the big print cell is present in the notebook I believe jupyter tries to open the whole book with everything it has, including this. I’v tried to restart the kernel, restart the browser, closing every other program opened and nothing works.

I’ve posted a message to the course staff, to see if someone can access your account and fix or delete the existing notebook file. Mentors cannot do that.

Hi @Emilio_Gonzalez,

You should see two notebooks in your workspace now.

The fresh copy of the notebook C2_W2_Assignment.ipynb, which I recommend you now work on this.

And your previous notebook, old_C2_W2_Assignment.ipynb , which, I’d recommend not to run (as your previous execution made the file size 35mb, making it harder to open), but I have left in as a back up to your previous solutions.

Best of luck,
