make sure you use tabs to format all of your Python code I disagree. Idiomatic Python uses 4 spaces per indent. Either solely use tabs or solely use spaces, they don’t work well together, at least in my experience Mixing tabs and spaces

I'm 45 too, and there is theoretically no 'Can't be done' in my book either. Everything can be done, given enough time and resources. I like your way of proving that something can be done by demonstrating it with a 'basic implementation'.
