I actually have a function written in my imported file to check if
a string is a valid float, but I didn't use it because I also have
raw_input in that same function, which I don't want. I'll rework the
imported function to remove the raw_input and put that in a function by
itself so I can utilize the valid float try/except that I've already
written.
That alone is a valuable lesson. When writing functions, try to make
each function do one task, thoroughly and flexibly. Then it's much more
likely to be reusable.
