@samthebutchr12 hey buddy, Tim actually ran the write_key() function once (to get he key.key file) and then that block of code was of no use, so he placed it as a comment. So to fix your issue, you need to remove those quotation marks ( ''' ) from the start and beginning of that block of code, you will be fine. If you run to another error, I will try my best to help !
