it’s simple to show the data of a dictionary into an html file with python:
iterate the dictionary
iterate the values, if values are in al list
add the “<td>” tag after each value and “<tr>” after eack key into a string
add the “<table>” tags at the start and end
save the string into a file html
open the file
import os
a = {
"First" : ["1","2"],
"Second" : ["1","2","3"]
}
data = ""
for k in a:
data += "
" + k + "
"
for d in a[k]:
data += "
" + d + "
"
data += "
"
data = "
" + data + "
"
print(data)
with open("file.html", "w") as file:
file.write(data)
os.startfile("file.html")
Result
Here is the browser render of the dictionary
Let’s make a GUI for this memo app – part 1
In the next post we will add the buttons to add or remove the memos
import os

import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.ttk as ttk
def save_template():
global memo
memo = {
"Da pagare" : "tim, enel",
"Wip" : """
Skate Jack - game,
matchpair - game,
Posizionamento - article for aziendaitalia,
"""
}
with open("memo.pkl", "wb") as file:
pickle.dump(memo, file)
def save(event):
key = lst.get(lst.curselection())
memo[key] = tbx.get("0.0", tk.END)
print("Changes saved")
with open("memo.pkl", "wb") as file:
pickle.dump(memo, file)
def load_template():

return memo
