python之python 约定的新手，我的代码是否在正确的轨道上

我已经阅读了一周有关 Python 的内容，只是想通过创建一个税级计算器来尝试一下。我还没有完成，但我想知道就 python 编程而言，我是否走在正确的轨道上。之前只做过一点C++编程，感觉就显示出来了(好/坏？)

#There are six brackets define by the IRS as of 2009 
#Schedule X - Single 
first_bracket = 8350 
second_bracket = 33950 
third_bracket = 82250 
fourth_bracket = 171550 
fifth_bracket = 372950 
 
def b1(a): 
    a = a * .10 
    return a 
def b2(a): 
    a = a * .15 
    return a 
def b3(a): 
    a = a * .25 
    return a 
def b4(a): 
    a = a * .28 
    return a 
def b5(a): 
    a = a * .33 
    return a 
def b6(a): 
    a = a * .35 
    return a 
 
if __name__ == '__main__': #importing is fun 
 
    #Ask for salary 
    salary = float(raw_input("Enter your salary\n"))     
 
    #First bracket 
    if salary >= 0 and salary <= first_bracket: 
        taxed = b1(salary) 
        #print "You make less than $", float(first_bracket), "so your tax is $", taxed 
        print taxed 
 
    #Second bracket 
    elif salary > first_bracket and salary <= second_bracket: 
        taxed = b1(first_bracket) + b2(salary-first_bracket) 
        #print "You make between $", first_bracket+1, "and $", second_bracket, "so your tax is $", taxed 
        print taxed 
 
    #Thrid bracket   
    elif salary > second_bracket and salary <= third_bracket: 
        taxed = b1(first_bracket) + b2(second_bracket-first_bracket) + b3(salary-second_bracket) 
        print taxed 

请您参考如下方法:

对于每个括号的限制和比率，可能有一种更有效的方法来使用列表和对而不是单独的变量来执行此操作。例如，请考虑以下内容:

# List of (upper-limit, rate) pairs for brackets. 
brackets = [ (8350, .10), (33950, .15), (82250, .25), (171550, .28), (372950, .33) ] 
 
if __name__ == '__main__': 
 
    salary = float(raw_input("Enter your salary\n")) 
 
    accounted_for = 0 # Running total of the portion of salary already taxed 
    taxed = 0 # Running total of tax from portion of salary already examined 
 
    for (limit, rate) in brackets: 
        if salary < limit: 
            taxed += ( (salary - accounted_for) * rate ) 
            accounted_for = salary 
            break # We've found the highest tax bracket we need to bother with 
        else: 
            taxed += ( (limit - accounted_for) * rate ) 
            accounted_for = limit 
 
    # If we went over the max defined tax bracket, use the final rate 
    if accounted_for < salary: 
        taxed += ( (salary - accounted_for) * 0.35 ) 
 
    print taxed 

我们的想法是，我们不想重复我们不必重复的代码，只是因为我们有多项相似的数据要处理。除了不同的税率和限制外，税级的功能都相同，因此我们希望它们作为标准计算的输入，而不是它们各自的功能。
