Working on the PyMongo NPC tracker

[Leitz]

"Work", in this instance, being slow. I'm getting into the web interface "select and update" cycle that usually confuses me.

If you have any PyMongo or Bottle-ish skills, feel free to offer suggestions. The repo is py_npc_web_db and I'm working on the "upsert_dragon" method as I figure it out.

Long term goal is more search options besides name, optional fields being updateable, and a config file so someone can use the code without having to hard code their own database info in it. Very short term is working on really understanding the update process.

I plan on using this for characters in my games and the stories I write. Always helps to not change a character's hair color or gender mid-story.

This morning's code push hit a goal I have been trying to reach for several years in a few different languages. I was able to select a database entry, modify it, and then loop back to check the selection.

Over the years I've gotten lost in that "loop back" bit; it is very nice to see the end of the trail. There are still lots of ways to improve the code but right now I am happy.
