The tutorial at <a href="http://www.python.org/current/tut">Python's
website</a> tells a simple and easy way to do exactly what you're
saying. If you can get the variables into a class (read section 9, in
particular 9.3) then it is easy to read and write a big set of vars all
together in one operation by using the 'pickle' command (read about
this and easy file creation/opening in section 7.2). I just read over
this and it should answer your question. Come to think of it, raw_input
stores your input as a string, so you can just read() and write() in
one swipe to do the same thing (This would be much easier).
