Yes, as it turns out this was the issue. I entered the script 
line-by-line, and it finished the loops just fine- but at the 'print 
goodlist1' line, it froze. (it has to print about 1300 entries)

I'm rewriting the script so it writes the list to an external file 
within the loop, so I won't have to deal with such huge lists inside idle.

Thanks for everyone's help!
