First thing to correct is the notion that you're due an instant answer. 
  You get frustrated after 3 minutes, and post a new message in a new 
thread, with slightly different (but still useless) subject line, and 
the new message is slightly different than the first.

People here are volunteers, and you should wait a minimum of 12 hours 
before reposting.  And then it should be a bump, on the same thread, not 
a new message.  And the new message may have corrections to the first, 
but do them as corrections, not a whole new text to read.

So next time:

Post a single message, send it as TEXT, not html, pick a subject line 
that has something to do with the content (90% of the threads here are 
asking for help, so the word help contributes nothing).  Specify your 
python version, specify what happened when you ran it:
     1) I expected this...
     2) Instead the program did this...

or

     I ran it with these arguments, and got this exception, including 
traceback.

Thanks.
