1 the people who have responded to you, have volunteered their time to 
assist - at no cost to yourself. Are you passing judgment on them?

2 did you explain the narrow confines of your use-case or 
learning-objective? Conversely, have you noticed the proportion of 
people who do actually declare that their question stems from a 
'homework' assignment? Also, do you concede that someone asking for help 
with homework actually requires a different answer (promoting his/her 
learning objectives, cf earning a grade for him/her) to someone who has 
a problem coding Python (and wants a line of code corrected from a 
presumed construction to its working 'equivalent')?

3 were the alternative suggestions-provided, accurate?
(and therefore, technically helpful - as well as coming from a person 
whose intent is to be helpful)

4 do you concede that the above (2 and 3) demonstrates your request and 
requirement to be beyond the average call for a solution to a coding 
problem?

5 have you noticed that your messages re-start a conversational-thread 
(at least three threads for this one conversation, in Thunderbird), 
whereas people who hit ReplyAll continue the same thread?

6 on the basis of the technical-level of questions you have posed 
'here', you demonstrate a degree of programming expertise. Have you 
attempted to use that to help learners on the list (per 1, above)?
- in the process you will learn how difficult it can be to understand 
someone's request when it may be filtered through English-language 
difficulties, the questioner's unfamiliarity with Python, and/or a basic 
lack of communication skills?
