Python and MySQL - Please help!!!

[victordq]

Hi guys,

I'm new to forum and to Python.
I need some help with the python - MySQL interaction. I'm creating a program for my conclusion project in College and it's not working. I gotta present it on Wed, 11/24, and I'm really desperate for some help.

It's suposed to work like this:
I have an RFID reader and 4 tags wich will send the reader some information. The most important info are the TAG_ID and RSSI value. The program is retrieving and displaying these values correctly.

After each time the program reads the data from the tags, it should insert the values into a table in MySQL.
After the program inserts the values into the table, I want to be able to choose to retrieve and display all values in the table or only the values for a specific tag.

In the last part, I want to be able to make a graph with the values that are in the table. I want to make the graph RSSI x iteration
I have not started on the graph part yet. I still need to read more about this and I'm actually thinking about removing this part because I won't have enough time.

I'll put what I got so far below so that someone can try to help me out. Please disregard the comments because they are in portuguese.

The program is not working. After I enter an option in the menu it doesn't display the data nor adds it to the table. It just takes me to the second menu.

The first menu is the main menu. The options are:
1 - Show read data (and put them in the table)
2 - Show data already in the table
3 - Make the graph

The second menu is the sub-menu for option 2. The options are:
1 - Show the entire table
2 - Show data only for a specific tag

The third menu is where the user selects the tag ID whose data he wants to see.

Can someone please help me out?

Thanks in advance.

First suggestion is do not post 145 lines of untested code and expect your forum servants to wade through all of it. Second, your if/else indentation is screwy, and there is a while() loop in the middle, which may or may not be at the correct indentation level. Third, you should print the following because it is not doing what you expect

print int(opcao == 1)
if int(opcao == 1) :

Break this into functions. If you wrote it and you can't tell what is going on, how can you expect someone else to understand it. So, start with a function that is the "first menu" and test it. Then, write the function(s) that it calls and test each one of those functions. Then go on to the next step. To get you started:

def first_menu():
    lit = """ The first menu is the main menu. The options are:
        1 - Show read data (and put them in the table)
        2 - Show data already in the table
        3 - Make the graph
        """

    choice = ""
    while choice not in ['1', '2', '3']:
        print lit
        choice = raw_input("Enter your choice: ")

    print "\n correct choice entered =", choice

    if choice == '1':
        get_serial_data()
    elif choice == '2':
        second_menu()

first_menu()

Thanks for your help!
Sorry about all the lines of code. I don't consider you or any other forum member my servant, I'm just a big newbie and I'm not used to posting codes in forums.
But I should have known better then to post 145 lines of code.

I'll get things organized in here. You really helped me out a lot.
