Since others have already pointed out what went wrong, here's a suggestion
from another newbie (self), to get you quickly up to speed with Python --

http://diveintopython.org/toc/index.html
and especially section 1.8. There are several great books out there, but I
found Dive-into-Python very easy to follow, allowing me to make very fast
progress, and getting me up to (a certain encouraging) speed, soon enough.
Happy hacking.
