What data structure to work with? (Python 3)

Question

I want to input groceries and then get suggestions on recipes that can be made. For this I need to compare two data sets, right? What data structure can I use? .csv files or a SQL database? Any suggestions are welcome!

Answer 1

I think it's just a matter of your preference of data storage. Python works with both .csv files and database quiet well. With python3 you can use the package PyMySQL(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyMySQL) to deal with MySQL server.
Hope this could help~
