Hi Sara,
You create pickles with pickle.dump and you read them with pickle.load.
For example:
####### create.py #######
import pickle
data = ['one', 'two', 'three']
outfile = open('data.pickle', 'wb')
pickle.dump(data, outfile)
outfile.close()
#################
######## load.py ########
import pickle
infile = open('data.pickle')
data = pickle.load(infile)
print data
#################
If you run the first script, it will create a pickle of the list
['one', 'two', 'three']. You'll be able to see the file in the
directory where you ran the script; you can even look at it if you
like. The second script will read the pickle and reconstruct the
list.
Hope this helps!
