Pickling is the Python term for serialization. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialization
Suppose you want to save a Python object "x" to a file...
output_file = open('my_pickle', 'wb') # open a file
import pickle
pickle.dump(x, output_file) # write x to the file
output_file.close()
... and to restore x from the file:
input_file = open('my_pickle','rb')
x = pickle.load(input_file)
input_file.close()
