Dreams-program giving me trouble

[BurnTard]

Hi guys, it's me! Your least favourite tard has returned with noob-questions needing answers. I am working on making a program that will not only record my dreams in a file, but also store them by date, topic, keywords, and level of lucidness.

This is what I have so far:

[code=python]
ListOfKeywords=[]
ListOfDates=[]
ListOfTopics=[]
LevelOfLucidnes s=[]


temporarykeywor ds=[]

for n in [10]:
InputKeywords=r aw_input("Give a keyword for finding this dream again. ")
temporarykeywor ds.append(Input Keywords)
needmore=raw_in put("Are there more keywords? ")
if needmore.lower( )=="no":
break


for item in temporarykeywor ds:
ListOfKeywords. append(item)

DateOfDream=raw _input("What date did you have the dream on? ")
if DateOfDream in ListOfDates:
print
else:
ListOfDates.app end(DateOfDream )



TheTopicIs=raw_ input("What topic was the dream on? ")
if TheTopicIs in ListOfTopics:
print
else:
ListOfTopics.ap pend(TheTopicIs )



HowLucid=raw_in put("How lucid was the dream? ")
if HowLucid in LevelOfLucidnes s:
print
else:
LevelOfLucidnes s.append(HowLuc id)



Recountation=ra w_input("Now explain the dream. ")

DreamInfo=[temporarykeywor ds,DateOfDream, TheTopicIs,HowL ucid]
[/code]

The problem I've encountered is: I need to make it append the stuff that gets added to the lists on the top to similar lists in another .py file. It also needs to be able to read those lists when I start the program, add all the items in them to the lists in this program, so that no word will ever be repeated in any list in the two files.

That's all for now, but if I get an answer to this, and try to continue, there WILL be more questions, brace yourselves.

You should search Python doc files about: pickle

[bartonc]

Like this:[CODE=python]
import cPickle as db # an easy database

myDatabase = open('dreams.pd b', 'w') # create a file

myList = ['hello world']
db.dump(myList, myDatabase) # pickle database
myDatabase.clos e()
del myList # you progams quits (simulated)


# then later

myDatabase = open('dreams.pd b') # open the previously created a file
myList = db.load(myDatab ase)
myDatabase.clos e()
print myList[/CODE]

Really, BurnTard; please feel free to ask all the questions that you need to.
Remember: There are no stupid questions; only stupid answers.
