Isn't it much easier to use a database instead? That's what they're made for. > How about in a slightly different case. Suppose I want to know the number of > files in a folder? The OS and maybe some Python method might know that. Use "os" and "os.path". For a simple case the length of "os.listdir()" could suffice, but then you might need to filter out sub-directories, or maybe count files in them too using "os.walk()".
