Thank you all for the feedback and suggestions. I have never used an
assertion, before so I will read up on the concept. But this last email
about the optimizations makes me want to go with an AssertionError
exception, since assert is skipped if the compiler is told to optimize.

As far as hosts, I use digital ocean. It's a cloud based thing like EC2,

It will give you good experience configuring a linux box as well and
learning about deployment.

Would you like to tell us what it is doing wrong, or should we guess?
My guess is below:
flip_coin = 100
flip_coin = 100
and then after a while
while flip_coin != 100:
It is contradicting.So the while loop is never executed. Just put flip_coin
= 0 and remove
head = ""
tail = ""
They are not necessary.
It should work.
