I have in no way assumed that you are stupid.  I have tried to help
you formulate your problem better so that people on the list can help
you.  I believe I have done so respectfully, with the aim of
introducing you to the modus operandi of this group.

Don't judge too quickly.  I think this newsgroup is on the whole
extremely helpful.  I have learnt a lot from it.  But you have to get
used to its ways, and until you are familiar with them, approach it
with humility.

This is different from the error message that you posted in your
original message.

Anyway, what is useful to us is a full traceback, no just an error
message.
