You could find several url's to scrape the data from, and I believe it was
mentioned you could use a list of dicts, but it seems that you might want
to sub tier your dicts, It's been a while since I've pythoned so this a
little longer that usual, but this may help if you pull in the
countries/continents/states/provinces/zipcodes, however you may stil want
to give a DB a try, which you can create on your own out of
dictionaries/with list tuples, and subdicts.
\but if you always wnat dynamic data, rescraping several url's at a
personally optimized frequency into your db could help
import random
continents = ['china','u.s']
def world_stats():
world = {}
for continent in continents:
world[continent] = {'periodic_table_resources': {} }
print(continent)
for periodic_elements in range(0,119):
rand = random.randint(0,101)
world[continent]['periodic_table_resources'] =
'periodic_table_element %i=' % (periodic_elements)
print(world[continent]['periodic_table_resources'], rand, '%')
world_stats()
This doesn't contain the url scraper yet.
