First of all, ONLY use text mode for sending messages to the mailing list.

Not sure what that last sentence means.

For starters, this is a list with many Americans and people from all
over the world.  I have no idea what extended lvl 3 diploma is, and
you lose points by complaining about your teachers.  Maybe you don't
ask questions very well (a thought!)

So, the original question about ways to output from python has nothing
to do with your questions now?

Maybe you are talking about a general purpose data base.

At this point, let me back up and ask if you could describe your
general level of programming experience.  What language(s)? Do you
understand what an algorithm is? A database?

Sorry, this last paragraph looks like something made up by a bot to
sound intelligent.  It reminds me of the Dilbert Corporate philosophy
generator.

On what basis are we to compare GUI to object code .  How does this
relate to a.i

I want to be positive and helpful, but the more I look at this thread,
the less of a question I see.

Earlier a responder posted a link describing how to ask a good
question on a mailing list.  You should read that.

Where will you put the flux capacitor?
