Courses Plus Student 3,354 PointsCan't use opening shortcut or add entries
My problems with the diary program started when I could not used the shortcut to open the file, as demonstrated in the video. I tried deleting the '#!/usr/bin/env python3' code at the top and opening as normal. I also tried using my Pycharm editor. I am able to open the file and quit, but when I type 'a' to add an entry, I just get the menu back. please help. Thank you and here is my code:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from collections import OrderedDict
import datetime
from peewee import *
db = SqliteDatabase('diary.db')
class Entry(Model):
content = TextField()
timestamp = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
class Meta:
database = db
def initialize():
"""Create the database and the table if they don't exist."""
db.connect()
db.create_tables([Entry], safe=True)
def menu_loop():
"""Show the menu"""
choice = None
while choice != 'q':
print("Enter 'q' to quit.")
for key, value in menu.items():
print('{}) {}'.format(key, value.__doc__))
choice = input('Action: ').lower().strip()
if choice in menu:
menu[choice]()
def add_entry():
"""Add an entry."""
def view_entries():
"""View previous entries."""
def delete_entry(entry):
"""Delete an entry."""
menu = OrderedDict([
('a', add_entry),
('v', view_entries),
])
if __name__ == '__main__':
initialize()
menu_loop()
