Using Pickle

Pickle Example

   1 # Save a dictionary into a pickle file.
   2 import pickle
   3 
   4 favorite_color = { "lion": "yellow", "kitty": "red" }
   5 
   6 pickle.dump( favorite_color, open( "save.p", "w" ) )


   1 # Load the dictionary back from the pickle file.
   2 import pickle
   3 
   4 favorite_color = pickle.load( open( "save.p" ) )
   5 # favorite_color is now { "lion": "yellow", "kitty": "red" }

Flying Pickle Alert!

Pickle files can be hacked. If you receive a raw pickle file over the network, don't trust it! It could have malicious code in it, that would run arbitrary python when you try to de-pickle it.

However, if you are doing your own pickle writing and reading, you're safe. (Provided no one else has access to the pickle file, of course.)
