[tw5] Re: Importing a tiddler written with python?

Just a suggestion: I wouldn't build the json string manually. I would use a python dict and add the key/value pairs, then let the JSON library serialize it as a json string. It's the same idea I use only in Ruby for converting my gedcom files to tiddlers. On Thursday, August 27, 2020 at

Re: [tw5] Re: Importing a tiddler written with python?

Thanks Mark! Adding those things to my TODO. This is literally my first ever program that I wrote on my own. So this little script is the equivalent of that first wobbly table that a kid makes in woodworking. I’m just happy that it works! I actually noticed that there are some not-so-obscure

Re: [tw5] Re: Importing a tiddler written with python?
