Greetings,

I have code that I run via Django that grabs the results from various =
sports from formatted text files. The script iterates over every line in =
the formatted text files, finds the team in the Postgres database =
updates their w/l record depending on the outcome on that line, saves =
the team's row in the db, and then moves on to the next line in the =
file.=20

I'm trying to get away from Django for this project, I want to run the =
files, get the W/L results and output a formatted text file with the =
teams and their W/L records. What's confusing me I guess how to store =
the data/results as the wins and losses tally up. We're talking hundreds =
of teams, thousands of games, but a quick example would be:

Marshall
Ohio State
Kentucky
Indiana

Marshall,24,Ohio State,48,
Kentucky,14,Indiana,10,
Marshall,10,Indiana,7,
Ohio State,28,Kentucky,10

That's just a quick example, I can handle seperating the data in the =
lines, figuring it all out, I just am unsure of how to keep a running =
total of a team's record. I would do "for line in file:" then on the =
first line I see that Marshall lost so they would have 1, Ohio State won =
so they'd have 1 win. It'd go to the next line Kentucky 1 win, Indiana 1 =
loss, then on the 3rd line, Marshall got a win so they'd have 1 win, but =
it would have to remember that loss from line 1...

Does this make sense?

Thanks,=
