What are a and b supposed to contain?   Please use more informative 
names for them.  it looks like they are intended to be lists of floats, 
but you're then stuffing them with strings.

perhaps something like:
             a.append(float(row[0]))
             b.append(float(row[1]))

Probably should add some type checking here, since you're having 
repeated errors.

         if type(length) not is float or type(orientation) not is float:
                    .....  some educational error message showing what 
the types and values actually are.....

Note I'm NOT recommending you code it this way.  Just add the check till 
you've narrowed down the errors.

I think that's because the % operator means an entirely different thing 
if orientation is mistakenly passed as a string.
