I'm just pondering here... (and pinky, i'm looking at you!),
but there "may" be a good excuse for "import array". I have a
feeling it's merely an artifact. Maybe the OP began his
script with a Python array, then realizing he needed a mixed-
type container, began using list and forgot to edit his
imports. So yes: superfluous, yet forgivable.

*HOWEVER* I cannot forgive someone for creating a function that
merely prints a global variable! WTH???

@OP: Why did you create the "output" function?
