It would be kinder if the actual diagnostics returned by Python were 
included!

Python is an interpreted language. So, the code is examined 
line-by-line. If you wish to *use* functions such as easy(), medium(), 
and hard(); then they must have been previously def[ined] (appear 
'higher-up' in the code).

The <<<__name__ == “__main__”>>> idiom (phrase) is commonly-used in 
Python (for more reasons than this question). Please review 
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/what-does-the-if-__name__-__main__-do/ and 
find a later example which WILL demonstrate how to solve this problem in 
a Pythonic manner!
