Nikos: you know enough to understand what is going on here.

This list will not serve you well if you take every error message and 
paste it into an email without trying to get to the bottom of it 
yourself.  At the very least, a Google search on, "AttributeError: 
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'value'" will find you some answers.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:  slow down.
