The data returned by method self.prepSetFile() is of type dictionary 

    dataTodump=self.prepSetFile()
    try:
        settingFile=os.path.join(self.settingsDir,"setting.txt")
        output_phil=open(settingFile,'w')
        pickle.dump(dataTodump,settingFile,0)
    except: raise

I do not know why I am getting Attribute error

AttributeError:
‘str’ object has no attribute ‘write’

I even tested the data type of dataTodump which is obviously dict

    You need to pass in an open file to pickle.dump; you are passing in a filename only:

    output_phil=open(settingFile,'wb')
pickle.dump(dataTodump, output_phil, 0)

    Note that the file is opened in binary mode to prevent \n bytes being translated on non-UNIX platforms.
