What happened?

I get this error when copying the js.createObject example code from the pyscript.net documentation into pyscript.com

What browsers are you seeing the problem on? (if applicable)

No response

Did you also copy the related JavaScript code from that documentation into index.html?

<script>
    function createObject(object, variableName){
        //Bind a variable whose name is the string variableName
        // to the object called 'object'
        let execString = variableName + " = object"
        console.log("Running '" + execString + "'");
        eval(execString)
    }
</script>

This is the code that actually defines createObject on the JavaScript side, so that it can be imported on the Python side. I suspect you're missing this, hence the attribute error on createObject the first time it's used on line 10.
