I suggest you first learn a bit of python: go to www.python.org and download/install the current release; go through the online tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html . Then you might look at xml as a means for storing the data. Xml is structured, readable without special software(very helpful for debugging), and easy to use for simple data. Try the xml module from http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/download.html [look at the demos for simple usage] Don't be intimidated by complex formal definitions of XML, what you need is not hard to use. -- George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
