Might be overkill - but pickle the data memeber that contains the information. If you use text instead of binary pickling it should still be editable by hand. for a single line of text it may be a bit much - but it's still probably quicker than opening a file, parsing etc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
