Just learning Python and have a project to create a weekly menu and a shopping list from the menu. This is something I do manually now, so I'm automating it.
What I'd like is a list of menu choices, such as: CODE- Description - Est Cost 'B01 - Pancakes, Sausage,and Eggs - $5.80, 'L01 - Tuna Fish sandwices and chips -$ 4.25 , 'D01 - Dirty Rice and Garlic Bread' - $5.70. >From the choices, I'll create a weekly menu, print the menu, and then print list of ingredients ( and sum the commom items) CODE- Item - Qty. - Unit B01 - pancake mix - 1 - box B01 - milk - .3 -gal B01 - eggs - 10 - each D01 - dirty rice mix - 1 - box D01 - milk - .3 - gal. I would like to expand the ingredient list to include other fields like 'last purchase date' and 'reorder point'. I've used an example program and started to code it but just realized I've been coding ABAP in Python, that is set up a data structure and use that. What I want is to learn code Python in Python. Question: How should I set up the data? I'm looking at maybe 70 menu items and maybe 1000 items for the shopping list. I need to be able to maintain each item also. I am using python 2.6 but would like to use 3.0. Thanks for any suggestions! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
