OK, Show us what you've tried. That makes it easier for us to see what 
is tripping you up. Otherwise we are just guessing.

All 3 things you ask for can be done but we need a starting point and 
the best one is your existing, but faulty, code.

A lot of old examples on the web will be for Python v32 and there are 
significant differences to v3.

However, Python v3 has not lost any important functionality so
whatever worked in v2 can be made to work in v3. Again we just
need a clue as to what you are trying to do. (show us your
code - and any error messages and tell us your OS too)
