I sympathise with attempting to explain things in a foreign language.
Sorry that you have that difficulty here.

But the rest of Steven's advice is sound: you need to help us to help
you.

One way to do that: Please don't use Google Groups to post here, it
mangles your replies in ways that make it difficult for you to be
understood <URL:https://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython>.

So you need to present examples that are short, self-contained, correct,
compilable <URL:http://sscce.org/>. That may entail you writing the
examples for the purpose of posting them here; but do run them yourself
before posting!

You'll often learn about the problem without needing our input if you do
it that way. And if you don't, then you have a tool that will definitely
get you better responses here.
