A simple example of how the Pickle module can be used.

gistfile1.sc

#!/usr/bin/env python

class Character(object):
	"""Crude example."""

me = Character()
me.name = "God"
me.stats = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

import pickle

pickle.dump(me, file("me.character", "w"))

del me

me = pickle.load(file("me.character", "r"))

print(me.name)
print(me.stats)

# Prints:
#   God
#   [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
