Well, how would you do it in mel?  Perhaps you could then do it
similarly in Python.  But I suggest that before you can do anything in
Python you have to learn the language a little bit.  You should be able
to read Python code, for example, and tell what it does.  And know how
to implement basic algorithms (loops, if/then, variables, etc).
