So, the project is underway, and so much had to be altered! It is a completely different world when developing a windows app while keeping in mind it will also become an android app!

The main program could be named anything in windows, but it absolutely MUST be named main.py on android.

The data files could sit in any location in the windows project folder, but they need to be in the application space to not trigger read/write permission requests in the app.

So I am building along the windows project, but keeping in mind the android parts as I go. So much documentation to read!

I have managed to create the scripts as modules, and ran successful tests of all scripts. Created a config.py file that exposes the csv files and modified the scripts to find them. Right now I need to check the tail of all 17 csv files to ensure that the data was written properly, which is pretty much guaranteed by the update script logic, but verification at every step is important.

The next phase is removing the print statements and instead packaging the output to populate Kivy widgets. After verifying the csv's the actual GUI part starts!

The initial goal is to include the classifier AND follower scripts. Verified through some coding samples that what my follower script does is quite literally a first order Markov chain. I have included output of the most recent 10 followers to put some temporal context into the distribution.

This is not going to be easy, but the learning is off the charts right now! Stack Overflow is open in a window at all times, as is the Kivy documentation site and various Python docs. Feels like a real project!

Solving problems is what makes coding interesting, moving to the next level is reward in itself, even if the systems never produce a win!
