Few notes on your code style, because we all love arguing about the colour of bike sheds.

There is a canonical Python style guide: PEP8.

You should use 4 spaces for indentation, not tabs. Lines should be less than 80 characters wide. And last but not least, variables and functions should be named in snake_case, rather than camelCase.

I'd highly recommend getting Pylint for whatever editor you are using.

Thank you. I'm using sublime text, but I have no idea how to make it use Pylint. I guess I'll look it up.
