So let's head over to the REPL. So I'm in the same folder as my debugging.py file. And so from debugging import my two functions, so make_posh and printfib. Now let's print out printfib's function name and doc string. So that's just printfib and dunder name and printfib and dunder doc. So, so far, so good.
