In general, we help with Python problems rather writing applications for free.

You 'll either have to start paying somebody to do the work for you (in which 
case this is the wrong place to ask), or you'll have to make your hands dirty, 
and start reading/learning/coding/experimenting to solve your problem.


When you get stuck, you can ask how to overcome that obstacle (usually by 
scaling the problem down to a small example), and we will try to find an answer.
