Cannot use Python on older activities

Currently trying to do Hour of Code: Escape Estate. When the option comes up for "Blocks" or "Python", and I choose "Python", I'm asked to login to my Microsoft account in a browser window. Upon logging in I was prompted to create a Minecraft Education profile (which I've never had to do until now) and after doing so I just now repeatedly see the message:

"OOPS
You're not authorized to access this page"

Additionally, if I choose "Blocks" I'm permanently stuck at a loading screen with the message "チュートリアルを開始しています..."

I'm suspecting it has to do with the Japanese language, which Minecraft Education already has several problems that have never been fixed, but both of these issues are new.

In addition, I've noticed several other older maps (specifically Hour of Code: Inclusion) also have this same issue now when trying to access Python.

Is Python just not usable for these maps anymore? Will these Japanese language issues ever be resolved?

Thank you

  Hey there!

  Sorry to hear you are running into some issues with Hour of Code: Escape Estate. If you are willing, I can make a ticket for us and if you could send us a video reproduction of exactly what you are experiencing, Japanese language issues and all, I can share with my test team to investigate further. Let us know!

  Just to add to WK's comment, I have had the same problem trying to use Python in Escape Escape (our favourite activity). Clicking 'python' to code with immediately takes students to create a profile in this page My Profile | Minecraft Education which has an 18 year old age restriction.

  Version 26.32

  Hoping it can be sorted. All the best, Mary

  Hey there, 

  This issue occurs because the lesson was created using Python Notebooks, which have since been removed from Minecraft Education. The link that opens directs to our FAQ article explaining this change and how it affects lessons created with Python Notebooks: Changes To Code Builder: Removing Support for Python Notebooks – Minecraft Education.The Blocks interface is still available and should continue to function as expected.I'm also checking with our team to see if we can provide a clearer message within the lesson itself or update the lesson so it better reflects this change.
