How can I use pickle to save a dict?

Question

I have glanced through the data that the Python docs give, however I'm still somewhat confused. Could someone post example code that would compose another document at that point use pickle to dump a dictionary into it?

Answer 1

Try the Following code:

import pickle

a = {'hello': 'world'}

with open('filename.pickle', 'wb') as handle:

    pickle.dump(a, handle, protocol=pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

with open('filename.pickle', 'rb') as handle:

    b = pickle.load(handle)

print a == b
