I am completely new to databases as well as using python to access/create
databases. I started googling about it and found so much info, I wasn't sure

Oh, stupid me forgot the error message. Well, for some odd reason it works
now, but there are still some issues. When I tried it just a few minutes

If anyone have any tips, please let me know. Thanks everyone for the tips.

It is best if you send the full error message, it helps pinpoint the
problem.
my copy of your code was:

You have a minus sign in your variable name - at least thats
how Python sees
Now it says that the variable adder is not defined. Does anyone know about
this?

The other day, I wrote a little database just to fiddle around, but when I
try to run it it says that it has an unexpected indent. From what I can
tell, it doesn't. Here's the code. I'm using SPE.
database = []
datafile = open('/home/~/the-db/data')
for line in datafile:
database.append(line)

Hi,
I have some database files that are written in visual foxpro. I want to be
able to access them, read them and amend them. Can I do this with python?
Are there any good links or websites that would specifically deal with
interrogating visual foxpro databases with Python?
