So as soon as I got to the beginning of the flow control section of Learning Python, I was all "I can do this! Just let me start writing some code already." And of course now I've got all my elements in place but I'm driving myself nuts trying to work out the flow control, which is not cooperating. Should I give up and go back to the book? But this brick wall is so cuddly on my brainpan!
