print "hello"

You still teaching them Py2?

[justvanrossum]

@thom Funny. At the beginning of the semester there was no Py3 DrawBot yet.

@thom After talking with Just, I've learned that RoboFont 2 will use Python 3.6. So, I've updated the print statements, and I think those were the only 2.7-specific things. If you spot other issues, though, let me know!

It wasn't taken directly from class notes, but there's actually a part 3, as well:
