CONGRATULATIONS!  More important, too.  :)

I'm a bit worn out, so will limit this to what I can think through. I do want to answer a couple of questions/comments, though.

"dn" apologized for potentially treating me as a "beginner"; I strive (but often fail) to maintain a "beginner's mind", even though I've been doing stuff like this for a while. In this particular instance I've been on page 27 of "Fluent Python" (1st ed) for a bit longer than a smart person would be. Generators are interesting, and I saw a reference that they could replace maps and lambdas, so I figured learning them was a good idea.

Also, Mats pointed out dataclasses, and I think they fit a lot of how I normally think about classes. In this particular case, though, I was trying to keep things as simple as possible, but no simpler. From the comments, I'm not sure I succeeded, but that was a goal.

More tomorrow. If needed, anyway.
