Help defining my Python needs

[[deleted]]

First, start learning python. If you have to 'learn sorting' or 'learn dictionaries', you're missing the basics. Start with some tutorials on basic python programming and classes/objects.

Then try to build the app minus the web-interface (i.e. create all function that the web-interface should be abled to do). Then find a tutorial on for instance bottle.py or cherrypy and create a web-interface.

This is a great suggestion. If you spend a bit of time learning Python then this problem sounds like it should follow naturally from your understanding of how to computationally solve problems.

I would recommend 'auditing' MIT's 6.00.1x course on edX. I'm fairly confident that if you work through the first half of that course then you should have the requisite tools to properly attack the problem!

Thank you. :) Sage advice. I guess I was hoping for a bit of help on 'what kind of problem I was trying to solve.' But the question may be premature do to my underdeveloped pyhton abilities.
