Hello, Could you please recommend me a Python tool that could help me to get rid of the messy information and scripts I have in spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets are great for having simple things done quickly. But as the needs grow their limitations can be quite frustrating. I would like to use the browser to edit information that for the moment I store in spreadsheets. I believe that the perfect tool for me would be that a combination a table editing tool and a tree navigation tool. I would like to navigate in a tree, expanding and collapsing nodes. The leaf nodes would then be tables with some editable columns. A good table editing tool (without the tree navigation) would already be very helpful. Examples of information I would store in such a tree/table system (which are now in spreasheets): - My dvd, avi collection: The tree would be the directory tree of the file system where I store my movies. For each directory containing the avis or the dvds there would be a table with one movie by row and several editable columns: the file name, the genre, the year, whether I have seen it or not, comments, etc. . The same thing for mp3. - My family budget. The tree would be the account tree, the rows in the table would be the deposits and withdrwals. This is actually my most important need. I don't find gnucash flexible enough for my needs. Beancount (http://furius.ca/beancount/) has a great html output, but I would like to use the browser also for input. I am very comfortable with Python, but I don't know much about web framewords and javascript interfaces. I am ready to learn anything that could help me to do the desired tasks quickly, without having to code a web application from scratch. Is javascript the way to go? In this case is there a Python lib can I use on the server side? Could a tool like django be helpful? Pyjamas? Both a single machine or a client-server architecture are fine for me. Thanks a lot in advance for all suggestion, Marko -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
