Importing .json/.txt files in my Python application (built with GitHub)

Hi there,

You should be able to do that with the standard Python modules like json and os to read and write to the files.

You can read the file with:

with open('data.json', 'r') as f:
     data = json.load(f)

To write to a file, you can use the w flag:

with open("data_file.json", "w") as write_file:
    json.dump(data, write_file)

Note that if you are using the DigitalOcean App Platform, this will not work, as the storage there is ephemeral, meaning that you will loose all of your changes after each new build.

Feel free to share more details on your setup and I will be happy to advise you further!

Best,

Bobby
