Very Enlightening but could not get it going..

Hello,

I read the extremely interesting part 1 on
https://www.pyscoop.com/building-a-simple-blockchain-in-python/

I tried to get a bit of hands on by running the given example..
An error was generated Which I think is related to the absence of the genesis block.
However I could not get to generate this 'genesis block'.
So not an issue just my dumb self. But nevertheless a feedback.
Again thank you very much for all these great explanations.
