Have a look at http://www.ideone.com/zlBeB .
I took some liberty and renamed some of your variables. I wanted to show you
what I (personally) think as good practices in python, from naming
conventions to how to use the list and dictionary, and so on. Also, 4-spaces
indent. I noticed you have 5 for some reason, but that's none of my business
now. I hope my comments explain what they do, and why they are that way.

Yes, that's totally possible. See range() (and xrange(), possibly) in the
Python API.
