Derived stats

I wrote a small script to derive some stats for each variety (the last 3 columns). Here's the source, tweak as needed..

#!/usr/bin/env python

data = (
    ('Old Egypt',    1, 0, 1, 2, 0),
    ('Nile Green',   2, 0, 1, 1, 1),
    ('Ariella #8',   2, 1, 1, 2, 0),
    ('Coyan #56',    2, 1, 2, 2, 0),
    ('Coyan #77',    2, 2, 1, 1, 0),
    ('Forgiving #5', 2, 2, 1, 1, 0),
    ('Tedra #116',   4, 2, 3, 0, 1),
    ('Tedra #123',   3, 2, 4, 1, 0),
    ('Tedra #138',   3, 2, 5, 0, 1),
    ('Zaniac #37',   3, 1, 3, 1, 1),
    ('Zaniac #38',   2, 2, 2, 1, 0),
    ('Zaniac #128',  3, 1, 4, 1, 1),
    ('Zaniac #134',  3, 2, 2, 1, 1),
    ('Zaniac #163',  3, 2, 3, 1, 1),
    ('Zaniac #180',  3, 2, 3, 1, 0)
    )
