Okay, so I am creating a password storage system. I have everything but a few last functions.
I need to be able to search for different sites and view all sites in a choicebox. for editting. I've tried a few different things but I just can't get it. the first set of code is the actual coding, and the second set is the simpleDB.py program that I'm using with it.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks, but that's really not what I'm looking for. The project calls for the use of only SimpleDB, easygui, and the program itsself. I want to understand the commands....


but once again, thanks for trying.
