Conceptually it is very simple. Pickle takes a python object and serialises it to a sequence of bytes which it stores in a text file. The text file can be unpickled by reading it back and de-serialising it. The object you wind up with should be exactly the same as the object you started with. The idea being that you can store (or persist) your objects even while your program is not running. The pickle module provides the functions to do all of that. Are there any more specific problems you are having? Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
