In your subject line you state that you are an intermediate Python user. 
  These are not the errors an intermediate user would make, nor the 
questions an intermediate user would ask.  These are the errors that 
somebody who doesn't know Python would make.

Please do not misrepresent yourself.

P.S.  The scale I am accustomed to is Novice -> Intermediate -> Advanced 
-> Master

Are there scales out there that would put these types of questions in 
the "intermediate" category?
