I need guidance in building a program - Rius2 - Oct-16-2017
Hello,i need guidance in choosing a direction for a program i want to build. I am new to programing in general, and very new to python in particular, but i have already made some scraping programs using the selenium library for sraping and sqlite3 for manipulating the data, and i find this combination simple and straight forward.
What i want to do is scrap some values from different sites and compare them,i need to visualize those values and also do some arithmetic opreations with them.
I was thinking of either using a GUI(PyQT5) or building a web page(Django) that will reside on the pc. As i will be the only one using it, where should i head as a new programer?

I will go with the web app/page. Eventually, you will want to get the data remotely so you will have to able to do that. It could be achieved with PyQt indeed but...

Not likely that i would want to do that, but as i watch more tutorials about Django and PyQt i get the feeling that a web page will have a more natural fell, (maybe how i am more used navigating on the web) then a custom Gui(which i do not even have a clue on how it is going to be shaped).
