Help with a python script to control my lights? (github.com)

I'm just trying to control my smartlights with a script, it seems to be having a lot of problems, I really don't know what I'm doing, i'd appreciate any help I can get

Once I have a script that can individually turn lights on/off i can edit the rest myself, I just can't get the base functionality working.

Yeah, my real issue was that I erroneously assumed

from lifxlan import LifxLAN

WOULD import the Light function, but of course, it does not, I didn't realize that when you do a from import you're just importing a single specific command and not the whole library, and just used it like it was in the examples they gave, but thank you for the comment and this community is awesome, just that you were willing to write that all that out just to help me understand is incredibly kind, thank you!
