Store multiple dictionaries in a file

[Andreas Kostyrka]

How so?

>>> import cPickle as cp
>>> f=open("/tmp/test.pck", "wb")
>>> cp.dump(dict(a=1), f)
>>> cp.dump(dict(b=1), f)
>>> f.close()
>>> f=open("/tmp/test.pck", "rb")
>>> cp.load(f)
{'a': 1}
>>> cp.load(f)
{'b': 1}
>>> cp.load(f)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
EOFError
>>> f.close()
