data file for .exe program to access
#1
Hello.
My question is hypothetical regarding whether Python would be the correct choice.
I have written a few Python programs being an amateur, that display data that I provide within the program. I compile the program into a standalone .exe. If I want the program to display different data, then I have to include the new data and recompile the .exe program.
My question is, is it possible to write a standalone .exe python program that can access the 'data' not from within the program itself, but from an external data file separate from the program. This way I could make changes to the data file that the program will access without having to recompile the .exe program each time. Im not sure if Python is the right choice here.
thanks for your consideration.
