Lists to strings

[ichabod801]

My first thought is that a dict would work. Have the key be the author name, and the value a list of titles. Or a list of tuples of (title, file_path, category, whatever).

My second thought is that if you are doing file operations you will want to look at the os and pathlib libraries.

My third thought is that I would expect the file transfers to be more of a bottle neck than a DB. There are DB modules for the typical SQL suspects and some others.

Note that dir(collections) won't work until you import collections. And learn to love the docs.
