  Hello, swt_thang.
  Here are a couple suggestions for you.
  
  You don't need to keep track of next b/c you can get to the end of the list with
  hist[-1] or hist[len(hist)-1]
  
  You can update hist with either
  hist += ['x'] #'x' has to be in a list here
  or
  hist.append('x')
  
  You can guess the player's next move using something like
  move = hist[random.randint(1, len(hist)-1)]#selects a random element out of hist
  move = win_move_for[move] #converts the player's move into what would beat it
  #the above 2 lines could be smushed into one line, but I ran out of room
  
  You can calculate who wins w/ something like:
  if win_move_for(user_move) == move:
  #computer wins
  elif win_move_for(move) == user_move:
  #user wins
  else:
  #tie, assuming valid input
  
  Hope that helps.
