I'm working on a script that keeps track of the USD -> Japanese Yen<br>
exchange rate. I'm experimenting with adding functionality that<br>
changes the seconds to sleep between web scrapes, depending on<br>
consecutive outputs of no change in the exchange rate. Please see the<br>

<br></div>
sleep_seconds_control is returning an integer.<br>
<br>
You're trying to assign that integer to the four names:<div class="im"><br>
unchanged_count, higher_count, lower_count, secs<br>
<br></div>
Python therefore tries to iterate over the integer to<br>
allocate one item to each of the four name.<br>
<br>
And it can't. Because it's an integer<br>
