It's not that it isn't allowed, it is just it's too complicated to do - the site has really overdid itself on the legal warnings, and just a tad bit too ugly to attempt. Plus it appears that they are undergoing a rewrite. Not really ideal for the first adapter, but if you want to try it - go ahead.
The way you going around is is a tad bit ineffective, in my opinion. You will learn very little at staring at the result of someone else's complicated code. The best way to learn how to code is by doing So take some adapter (adapter_castlefansorg.py is as good of a way to start as any given its documentation) and start playing around with it - modifying a part there, a part here to fit certain purposes. Look at the html code of that example website, too, to see why it was coded like that. That's how I've learned, at least. AFF is not efiction of course, which makes a matter tad bit complicated, but at least it will show you what are all the components that go into it.
And if upon the compiling you generate an error, and upon staring at it for a couple of minutes (and checking the code at the line specified in the error) you cannot figure the solution - try googling it. If that still doesn't work - feel free to ask us, we'll help to the best of our abilities.
And while I'm at it, here is a helpful bit of advise before you do anything. Python fundamentally depends on the proper formatting of the code. Other languages may allow everything to be flushed to the edge, but python would be very confused and yell at you if that were the case. So do keep the same formatting as the code you're modifying - four spaces (not tabs!) per indent. This is something that gave me hell to figure out when I've just started.
