It seems like what I want to do is something that programmers deal with everyday, but I just can't think of a way to do it. Basically, I am writing a DB front-end and I want a new "Researcher" object to be created whenever the user presses the "New Record" button. He can open as many new records at a time as he wants and fill in the information.
What I don't know how to do is handle this arbitrary number of objects. When it comes time to save the data to the DB, how do I access each object (to get the text fields associated with each)? Won't I have to have given each instance some name? Or is there some other way to do this? Simply creating a new instance each time the user presses "New Record" won't be good enough, because how do I retain a reference to that instance over the course of the program, even after a second or third instance has been created? Hope that makes sense. It seems like such a common task. Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
