OK... I can see that I got the appData part wrong... but I'm pretty
sure you're going to want to select table items by comparing a range
to a range, aren't you?

You're interested in all the n's and t's that share the same c, s, and
v.   How about this:

subitems = [tuple(item[-2:]) for item in appData.rules if item[:3] ==
(c[1], s[1], v[0])]

I'm not sure I extracted c, s, and v correctly... I'm getting a little
lost in there.  But the data you want consists of all the rows in
appData.rules where the first three elements match c, s, and v.  This
might not be the *exact* thing you're looking for, but should provide
the correct answer once the correct comparison is made.

HTH,
