Hi Rajkumar,

Since the updates to cloud shell the editor capability hasn't been working properly. What you can do instead is use a different editor, Nano. You need to modify two of the steps to use Nano, as detailed below:

For Step #3, enter below command instead of what is in the exercise:

nano application.py

For Step #5, press Ctrl+S and then Ctrl+X to save file and exit Nano, instead of what is written in the exercise.

I just tested by completing the exercise using Nano and was successful.

Below is cheatsheet for Nano's shortcut keys in case you need it:
