This is something that one can only gain from experience?
I really had to struggle to get the Light class to work at all.
I have no idea how many times I started over. But I do feel
that I am starting to learn some of this stuff.

provide lots of practice for me to design and code it in
Python OOP.

"You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its
orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such
allegiance.  Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil.

whole soul." [Mahatma Gandhi]
