No, it isn't. Two things are causing most of your issues. 1) You are trying to *get your homework done*, rather than actually gain competence. Slow down. Read some documentation. Don't fire off another request to the mailing list the moment you've tried one thing; instead, do some research. 2) You don't currently understand what decode() actually means. I don't fault you for that; a lot of people don't understand it, and it was thrown at you in a suggestion without any explanation. But encode() and decode() are not magical incantations to be inserted randomly until your code works.
