code critique requested - just 60 lines

Terrence Brannon, I suggest you to shorten a lot some of those very
long lines.

Not all recipes are good, and that looks bad in various ways. Try
this:

def sumDictValues(d):
    return sum(d.itervalues())

But probably it's better to inline that operation.
