Using python to edit a python file.

deathalele · 08-26-2008, 11:45 AM

I think i have enough python knowledge to start on my first serious python project: a spreadsheet.

my idea is to have on python file with the software(lets call it py1) and so o in it and another wich will contain the info in the spreadsheet(lets call it py2).

eg. family.py

Quote:

A = 'name'
B = 'relation to me'
C = 'Age'

A1 = Mum
B1 = Mother
C1 = 47
A2 = Dad
B2 = Father
C2 = 51

My question is will it be possible to edit py2 using py1?

If it is can u leave examples.
thanks in advance

Of course.
But then what?

It really is better to parse the "spreadsheet" file yourself with python code. (or maybe have a look at "pickle" if you cannot resist storing "spreadsheets" as python code).
