Wondering whether there is example code/docs relating to models without databases, but where individual model instances are mapped to (say) a file. Alternatively put, where the back-end data store for the app are files, not DB tables. Despite much searching I can't find anything definitive (maybe I am using the wrong search terms)
We have a directory full of binary files; the file names contain id and date information for crude indexing. New files are created by an external process throughout the day. Each binary file is essentially a single model instance. In essence, we want to browse the files on the web. We have existing python code to read the files. There will be no file writes, only reads. I am reluctant to use any DB so as to keep things very simple as the code could end up in an embedded and "offline" remote system, so less is more. Is it just a question of overriding Model or is there a simpler way I am missing?
