I'm not sure, I never have really worked with Python to do hard-code. However, in my experiences, Python has been very fussy with me. It's not very extensive, I've noticed. After working with Visual Basic, I've just found Python doesn't work with me in terms of object-oriented programming. Mostly because of the way it handles values (especially when it comes to floating points). You also can't define a function in a line, you have to give it a name. This always led me to have to go back and re-do my code, forgetting that all functions had to be defined before actually coding them. And don't mention lambda, that's just a shortcut...

I mean, all-in-all, perhaps I shouldn't have made that comment. These are my issues with Python. However, for what you're using it for, it should work out fine. But extensive programming, not exactly.
