I can't figure out how to set up a Python data structure to read in
data that looks something like this (albeit somewhat simplified and
contrived):
States
Counties
Schools
Classes
Max Allowed Students
Current enrolled Students
Nebraska, Wabash, Newville, Math, 20, 0
Nebraska, Wabash, Newville, Gym, 400, 0
Nebraska, Tingo, Newfille, Gym, 400, 0
Ohio, Dinger, OldSchool, English, 10, 0

The structure looks more suited to a database -- maybe SQLite since
the interface is supplied with the newer versions of Python (and
available for older versions).
I don't understand why I need a database when it should just be a matter
of defining the data structure. I used a fictional example to make it
easier to (hopefully) convey how the data is laid out.
You don't need a full-blown-multiuser-concurrent-petabyte-capable-server
database, just one that does the job. SQLite is very small and comes with
Python 2.5
The Perl routine works fine and I'd like to emulate that behavior but
since I've just starting learning Python I don't know the syntax for
designing the data structure. I would really appreciate it if someone
could point me in the right direction.
So none of the previously posted alternatives worked for you?
