Full disclosure, prior to attempting this, I actually looked at the link
at the top of page 51, and even visited it. I also relied heavily on w3schools
compared to the textbook. While initially learning Python, I found the language
of the book difficult, but as I grasped concepts, it came easier. I will also 
be creating scratch files when needed to test ideas. They will not be submitted
with my lab submissions but will be available at my Gitea link posted with 
my submitted files.
