I cannot figure out how to remove the issue on line 4

 def second_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)

 class MyClass:
        args = [1, 2, 3]

Hey Daniel Kondakov 👋

There are a couple of issues with your snippet that need an adjustment in order to pass the challenge. On lines 4 and 7 the definitions don't start at the very start of the line but have a blank space in front of them.

The args also seems to be indented two tabs instead of one. Finally you'll want to make sure that there are two empty lines in between the function definition 🙂

def first_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


def second_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


class MyClass:
    args = [1, 2, 3]

    def class_func(self):
        return self.args

Hope this helps!
