Question

Hi
Is there any known method, through API or clean programming practice to save an object to a file and then load the object again for instance if: Object inst is an instance of class C
and it has variables V1 and V2 which are currently initialized, can we save it to a file and read it back? Now what if we want to take this further, what is we have a processes or a thread running can we save it and resurrect it again?

Use the pickle module or the (slightly) higher-level Shelve module
