If you have formatting in your code, we can't copy it and run it to see what the problem is.

Without running it, I would say that I don't see where you call the createProject function. You have to call a function after you create it to get it to do anything, like you call main.

The global statement should not be used here. You should return values from your function (with a return statement) instead.

In addition,

• Use now.strftime() to produce the string you need
  
• Use the requests module instead of urllib2

HI, I am not sure what you mean by formatting , I dont think I have formatting, but cant you copy paste this in your editor? Like I said I am new to python and I thought I have defined the function createProject, so if you could please fix ( give me  an example within this code) what I done wrong and send it back to me so I can run it and see
Thanks.
