The term for this in programming is “serialisation”, in the sense that a
specific series of bits will represent the Python value, and you want to
convert to and from that series of bits.

More generally, having data values persist beyond the life of a program
is termed “persistence” of the data.

The Python standard library has several serialisation / persistence tools.
