Having problems is normal. Please follow these six steps BEFORE you ask for help:

  1. Google the problem in general terms. For example: python how to import a calendar
  2. Re-read your code (sometimes, reading backwards help you see little errors)
  3. Use your debugging tools
  4. Ask a friend
  5. Google the specific error message your program is raising
  6. Don't ask your teacher until you have a very specific question.
You must learn to solve problems.
