I am writing a script that has to read data from an ASCII file of
about 50 Mb and do a lot of searches and calculations with that data.
That would be a classic problem solved by the use of a database
(SQLite would suit just fine), but that would require the user to
install more packages other than python itself, and that I am trying
to avoid.
Since the data is not too large, I wonder if there is another way to
store all data in memory and work with it more or less like a
database, doing searches and working with datafields.
This is not clear to me how can be implemented. I thought of creating
a class with the data structure, and creating a list of objects of
that class, each one containing one line of data from the "database".
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!

No it would not:
<URL:http://docs.python.org/lib/module-sqlite3.html>
(Well, its new in Python 2.5, but you didn't say you were restricted to
some older version.)

Hi,
Maybe PyDbLite ( http://quentel.pierre.free.fr/PyDbLite/index.html) is
what you need : a single Python module, compatible with Python 2.3+,
that lets you manipulate data in memory
You can manage a database like this :
import PyDbLite
db = PyDbLite.Base(" dummy")
db.create("reco rd,"artist","re leased") # fields are untyped
db.insert("Clos er","Joy Division",1980)
db.insert("Diff erent Class","Pulp",1 996)
db.commit() # save to disk
print [ r for r in db if r["released"] 1990 ]
print db(artist="Joy Division")

Python 2.5 ships with SQLite and also supports in-memory
storage of the data.

What about shelve? It Requires some db support, yes....And what about
just reading the file and making a dict? It is a `csv' like file, so you
can just read it and generate a dict?

I need to implement a sorted (ordered) list. STL has no sorted list type as
far as I know. Is there a (straight) way to implement a sorted list using
STL?
BTW: The type of items in the list will be a class. Is it necessary to
implement the > or < operators or to write a compare-function that returns
the larger or smaller of two classes? Ideally, the list begins with the
smallest element.
Cheers,
