I'm sorry, but did you say you "ran to problem?" I don't mean to
offend, but that's by far the worst problem description I've ever
encountered. Please, include relevant code, errors given by the python
interpreter, expected results, and make sure to let us know if you're
doing a homework assignment.

Also, consider reading "How to ask questions the smart way." It's a
long read but you'll help yourself and everyone on the internet for
the rest of your life by reading it:
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

We can't magically access your computer and see your code. I have no
idea what you should change if all I'm given is a paragraph of
ambiguous, incomplete English description of your code and the words
"I ran to problem."
