Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.
