I was thinking something like this for my general flow (this is all just fake
code trying to represent my thought process)
mold = { "name" : " ",
"age" : " ",
"charm_point" : " ",
"profile_pic" : " ",
"pic_quantity" : 0 ,
"bio" : " "}
chiaki = copy.copy(mold)
#have the user fill in the data here
natalie = copy.copy(mold)
#have the user fill in the data here
# etc...
But my question is how do I repeatedly automate new names for the dictionaries?
Like how do I get the user to create the dictionary name (chiaki, natalie,
etc...)?
You don't.
Instead of something like this:
chiaki = {...}
natalie = {...}
...
You have a second dictionary, keyed by the names:
girls = {'chiaki': {...},
'natalie': {...},
...
}
Something like this:
girls = {}
while True:
template = copy.copy(mold)
name = raw_input("What's the name of an actress?") # See below.
if name == "exit":
break # Exit the loop.
#have the user fill in rest of the data here
girls[name] = template
Or you could use a real database, like sqlite, or even a *real* database.
If you are using Python 3 or better, change raw_input to input.
