Hi prof. @sbillinge! What does it mean to pretty print? Also, list everything would be list every thing inside each contacts (as name, institution, id, notes, aka)? Or would it be list everybody?

pretty print is actually a thing (look up pprint) but what I meant here was that it should look good when it is run. What works well in general is subsequent lines indented by 4 spaces. But when the data-type is a list or a dict it can be challenging to make it look good, so the easiest is to not spend too much time on it and make it look "not pretty" but functional....then try and see if it can be made to look pretty for not much messing around with code....
