Don't apologise for lack of comments, apologise for posting in HTML which 
causes your code to be mangled, leading indentation stripped, and generally 
turned into an unreadable mess.

Indentation has meaning in Python. When you send email, if your email program (possibly 
GMail?) mangles the indentation, your code will become invalid, unreadable mess. You need 
to fix this. Often the easiest way to fix this is to *not* post so-called "rich 
text", actually HTML. Most mail programs will leave plain text emails alone, but if 
you send HTML, they will mangle *both* the text and the HTML.

(Aside: the HTML also increases the size of the email by about 300-400%.)

As a programmer, like any technician or craftsman, your tools make all the 
difference. Email is a tool. If your tool breaks your code, you need a better 
tool.
