Firstly, I would like to thank Steven for reminding me of the assert
statement. I should have remembered this. It allowed me to isolate the
problem, which predictably (for me) was very elementary. I am too
embarrassed to say how simple the error was.
However, my original problem was not solved by correcting this error.
So, I will now try and narrow down the location of the problem and then
if I cannot solve it, I shall return for more good advice.
Many thanks to Steven and to Peter.
I'll weigh in with a mini- (and unasked-for-) lecture here:
this is often the point at which someone says "boy, I wish Python were
strongly typed, so things didn't change types in flight".
This is where I say Python *IS* strongly, although dynamically typed.
Why do people have such a problem with this?
