Prime Play (In Progress)

Here is a link to my Prime Play project. Primes are relatively simple to define, and yet a formula to produce a guaranteed prime is still unknown.  I caught on to a pattern that seems to work for small numbers, but needs more testing for big numbers.  This project is a collection of Python scripts (apps essentially) that constitute different methods of finding primes.  I use the classic 'brute force' method to compare the computational efficiency of the method I'm working on.  I still need to generalize my method further before I can officially call my experiment a failure.  So far I'm not expecting a Nobel Prize. This project has made use of my knowledge of combinatorics, Python (especially classes and an iteration module), and algorithms.
