Is some form of SQL database feasible? It sounds more like what you need. Depends on what you're storing, and how much.<br>

I have been working on a scientific application for awhile, and have
been using dictionaries and lists to store data and attributes of
datasets. This is getting cumbersome as there are many, every dict/list
is a premutation of another, and I'm having trouble following the code
I've written.<br>
<br>
Is there a golden rule to knowing when to use objects instead of dictionaries and lists?<br>
