[Tutor] looking but not finding

[o1bigtenor]

Greetings

I am new to programming (although I've been using computers for quite
a while) - - - have a project.

Situation
- have a fluid collection system
- fluid system is on a load cell system

want to not only weigh system say every 0.5 sec (I know that's slow in
electronics)
but I want to record that information (as well as other information around it).

I've tried looking for data log software - - - not much luck so far
except for commercial
stuff. Tried looking to see if there were python libraries that could
be manipulated
into service - - - not finding much joy either - - - - is there such
software out there - -
libraries?
(Running on linux if that makes a difference.)

TIA
