Note that one solution to saving data is to write out
text which also happens to be executable Python code.
Save the file as a .py, and when you want your data
back, just import it.

For example, if my saved data file looks like this:

a = [1,2,3]
b = {'a':10,'b':30}

then in another program I can go:

from mydata import a,b

and I'll have those values available to me.

Just a thought.
