try initializing a pay accumulator variable (stopPay) and then executing
your if-else block
in a loop over stops in the range (1,25) where stopPay is incremented by
the rate
in effect for that stop.

P.S.
This question would be more appropriate for comp.lang.python since your
question is not specific to Microsoft Windows.
