Hello, I am looking for a method on how to properly load-in and edit small data storage files like .json or a .txt (I know data storage with json files is bad practice, I am working on MySQL implementation). Right now my application gets the main.py and .txt files from my GitHub repo’s. However, it is not able to edit any of these .txt files. How would I go about achieving what I want?
Thank you in advance!

Hi there,
You should be able to do that with the standard Python modules like
json
andos
to read and write to the files.You can read the file with:
To write to a file, you can use the
w
flag: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
