Well, I recently got back into Yu-Gi-Oh cards (the show sucks, but the game is actually fun) as just another way to pass time. Anyway, it gave me the idea to write a Yu-Gi-Oh TCG game in Python. Just command line to start with, maybe with graphics later. My problem is, I want to use text files as databases to hold card information so that I can easily add new cards, but I can't think of a good way to input the file in Python and then make it so that each card adheres to a certain class, and is treated a a separate instance (unless there is a better way). How would I go about doing this?

Many thanks in advance.
