Congratulations!  You've learned an immensely valuable debugging
technique:  Reduce the problem behaviour to the *minimum necessary code*
to reproduce the problem; otherwise, you're searhing in code that, it
turns out, has absolutely no bearing on the problem.

(This leads, in turn, to the principle that writing less code in the
first place leads to fewer bugs -- but that will come naturally as you
learn Python :-)
