Hi list, I've recently developed a basic python program which needs to store some data in a file (e.g. a directory path). What the program needs is a dictionary containing the data, so I used the pickle module to store the dictionary in a file and read it back when the program is launched. I wanted to know which is the common pattern in python programming in this case, because the way I've choosen only lets the user configure the data via a GUI (the file is somehow "compiled"). Is it better to store the data in a text file and then parse it and construct a dictionary? Or is there e third way?
