I'm experimenting with adding functionality that changes the seconds to sleep between web scrapes, depending on consecutive outputs of no change in the exchange rate. Please see the code at<http://tutoree7.pastebin.com/KWmdk8jb> I'm at a loss as to what the error means.

You are expecting 4 items back from the sleep_seconds_control function but you only return 1 (seconds). The left-hand side should either just be `secs = ...` or you should change your function to return all 4 items.
What the error means is that the interpreter is trying to iterate over the results from your function in order to divide it into the 4 variables on the left-hand side.
