Hello all: I'm a beginner to Python (and programming altogether), and am now looking to create a program of my own. What I've got in mind is a very basic pest control program that would keep track of 1) trap findings and 2) pesticides. My thought is to make each of these classes. Looking at the general outline written below, can anyone give general impression about whether I'm somewhat going in the right direction or if I need to approach it entirely differently? Thanks for any suggestions or help!
[data structures snipped]
Programs generally *do* something. Here you have described data structures, which just sit there being full of data. They aren't very active and hence are not terribly interesting.
Here are some bullet points for your consideration: 1. What will your program do? 2. Understand databases (http://tinyurl.com/6flhbz) before you start. 3. Consider PySQlite (http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/PySqlite) before you think about a heavyweight database backend (once you realize that you will want a database for this project).
