I think that you should start by seeing if the db you wish to use is supported in python. I use the sqlite db. Python docs describes the support and provides a tutorial [URL="http://http://docs.python.org/library/sqlite3.html"]

[CODE]import Tkinter as tk # (x1, y1, x2, y2, ...) data = (100,100,200,300,35,495,450,45) root = tk.Tk() canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height = 500, width = 500) canvas.pack() canvas.create_line(data, fill = 'red') root.mainloop()[/CODE] you will need to adjust (normalize?)your data to fit within the pixel-limits of the screen.

not sure what you mean but have you tried using int() to convert a string?

I assume you are working in a GUI. Which One. do you have any sample code?

Please provide an example of your input sentence and what you want the output to be.
