I know ;-)
But because the Learn Python Series is intended as a book, I'm limiting myself to only using what was covered in the previous episodes! And pickle hasn't been explained yet! ;-)

While writing this, I initially used just one .txt file holding account_name,statuslines (like: scipio,todo). But that led of course to a nested list, and I hadn't explained the any() function yet, so I changed my code to using 3 files functioning as persistent buffers ;-)
