Sorry to ask this question. I have search the list archives and googled, but I don't even know what words to find what I am looking for, I am just looking for a little kick in the right direction.
I have a Python based log analysis program called petit ( http://crunchtools.com/petit). I am trying to modify it to manage the main object types to and from disk. Essentially, I have one object which is a list of a bunch of "Entry" objects. The Entry objects have date, time, date, etc fields which I use for analysis techniques. At the very beginning I build up the list of objects then would like to start pickling it while building to save memory. I want to be able to process more entries than I have memory. With a strait list it looks like I could build from xreadlines(), but once you turn it into a more complex object, I don't quick know where to go. I understand how to pickle the entire data structure, but I need something that will manage the memory/disk allocation? Any thoughts? Gracias Scott M
