On the level of mercy: (a) this is python-dev, which is explicitly *not* for user questions; (b) the OP didn't show any actual code nor error messages, which makes it impossible to help him unless you're clairvoyant. Unfortunately we get quite a few of such ill-defined problems in this list, despite it not being the wrong list, and my own patience wears thin at times too.
