Welcome to the second Alexa Skills tutorial for Python programmers. In this tutorial, we're going to build the Python function that actually does something. We've configured out how Skill will work with the Alexa device, but we don't yet have anything for our Skill to do.

For now, our Alexa Skill will remain very simple and just simply read off headlines from Reddit's World News subreddit. You can feel free to change the subreddit in the code if you like, or you can even make a function that returns something else entirely!
