Seriously, we can't keep doing your thinking for you. The answers
to all your questions are section 9 of the tutorial.
This is is just the kind of newbie-hostile smart-ass reply that we do
not want to see on comp.lang.python.

With Peng Yu, we've been through that quite a lot. It seemed time to
be a little sharper in the hope that learning might emerge.
As someone who generally deplores sharp replies to newbies for the
negative effect on the community as a whole and on later newcomers in
particular: I have to agree with Rhodri here. This specific case has
reached a point where some sharpness is warranted, in my opinion.
Peng Yu, please take Rhodri's reply in a spirit of mentoring. You have
all the tools at your disposal and they have been pointed out to you
numerous times. When asking a question of others, please demonstrate
that you have exhausted the existing resources you clearly know you have
available to you.
