I note that you didn't answer the question, what are you trying to
accomplish? In other words, what problem are you trying to solve.  It
looks to me like you're trying to write a program in a different
language here, not Python.  Although come to that I can't think of very
many reasons to do what you propose in any language.

If you mentioned what problem you are trying to solve, I'm sure folks
can suggest cleaner, more idiomatic ways of doing it in Python.
