Sorry, I had deleted this post because I realized that I had posted the wrong code. (This was after I had spent awhile trying to fix it. At this point, I was just grasping at straws and it probably didn't make any sense.)
I posted the original broken code in a different post. I also posted the traceback. Thank you for your help...
