That's down to the rich-ness of the Python eco-system!

IIRC (from previous posts) the OP is teaching him-/her-self Python. 
Thus, learning one-step at a time, building complexity in-line with 
confidence, is the way (s)he's going. Accordingly, each answer, building 
on the previous shows the way forward (as well as, the process of 
re-factoring)!

BTW his/her learn-by-doing approach is also the reason why I didn't 
write a complete-code answer.


Interestingly (at least, to me), the earlier response was me taking a 
break from writing a short paper (nothing-much to do with Python). 
Herewith some overlap of ideas:-

The aphorism claiming "two heads are better than one" is also the basis 
for what business-groups commonly call "brain-storming" (or 
"spit-balling", if you're 'in' marketing). However, did you know that 
"brain-storming" (in-person) seldom reaches the aspiration of finding 
'the best possible answer'?

Further, that if team-members work remotely, (first) 'attacking' a 
problem individually, and only after that, pooling their ideas to 
produce a plan; the chosen 'answer' will (likely) be much better!

Reasons: stated opinion of the "highest paid [wo]man in the room", 
dominant personalities, extrovert behavior, introvert behavior, I'd 
rather be sailing, ...

Thus: "Planning Poker" as a 'bottom-up', Agile, method for story/task 
(length) estimation!
