I created a python program that gets data from a user, stores the data as a dictionary in a list of dictionaries. When the program quits, it saves the data file. My desire is to append the new data to the existing data file as is done with purely text files. However, I can't find a way to do that. The advice I have seen on the web is to load the data when the program starts, append the new user input to the list, then re-write the data file. Is that the best way, or is there a better way?
As explained by others JSON does not allow text based data appending. But maybe you take a look at YAML (if it's appropriate for your project). -- Robin Koch -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
