Hi,
Thanks for below code:
After this code:

isbn = isbn[:-1]
if len(isbn) != 10:
  return False

Add:

if isbn[4:6] == "00":
    isbn = isbn[6:]

It is working exactly how it should :)
I didn't even change that part .  The zip function automatically truncates
to the length of the shorter input sequence.

Thanks a lot again :)

Have a nice day..
