My problem isn't that I can't think how the code is supposed to work. I can do that, so your example isn't really helping me any. My problem is that I have no clue how to put you example into actual working code. This might be the most obvious thing ever for you, but for me, it's the thing that's standing in my way. I've run into this problem before with HTML, so it isn't new. With HTML, I managed to work my way through it by tinkering with existing and working code to figure out how to adapt it to my purposes (I'm still starting with a collage of copypasta rather than actual writing when I'm not comfortable with an element). I haven't found a similar way to deal with PHP, and I'm not sure if there is such a thing for Python since it seems more specific to me.
