Holy macaroni I stink at this

[Hutchins, Mike]

Ok, I am trying my damnedest to learn python and programming in general.
I have this amazingly ugly script I am trying to write.

It works as long as there are no errors. Can anyone point me to a
resource that may be a little more insightful for trapping errors and
what to do with them?

I can post my "amazingly ugly code"(tm) if anyone wants a good laugh.
:-)

Thanks!
