Pickle should be able to serialize an object that stores state as attributes, as that's what objects normally do. But you could also serialize and save the objects yourself manually too. In fact if it were me I would save game state to some kind of ini file, which would mean manually going through each object and writing out the relevant data to the ini file using the right syntax. And then reverse the process when restoring from a file. XML could be another format used for your file, if you're into that kind of thing. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
