Hello all, I am learning to program in python. I have a need to make a
program that can store, retrieve, add, and delete client data such as
name, address, social, telephone number and similar information. This
would be a small client database for my wife who has a home accounting
business.
I have been reading about lists, tuples, and dictionary data
structures in python and I am confused as to which would be more
appropriate for a simple database.
I know that python has real database capabilities but I'm not there
yet and would like to proceed with as simple a structure as possible.
Can anyone give me some idea's or tell me which structure would be
best to use?
Maybe its a combination of structures? I need some help.
Thanks for your help.
If you stick with the simple data structures at some point you're going
to have to save them to disk with a module like pickle or shelve. IMHO
using sqlite is a better option as it comes with Python.
