I finally got it, after months of twisting in the wind. Just used a simple permutations routine and created a custom data map to test each set.Looks like I’m switching back to Python. I’ve decided to ditch Squarespace too, to save a few bucks. I can accomplish pretty much the same here on WordPress.
