Me to, I was just experimenting with a 2.2.2 version that was readily
available.

Without any Python experience that sounds to me like embarking on a mission

I have been messing around with one of these sites. So, do I understand you

I try, however, I get that __cmp__ key error.

As I highly appreciate your support, you can count on it.
