It's simplest to use
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.6.0/reference/generated/numpy.save.html
and http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.6.0/reference/generated/numpy.load.html
if you're planning on reading it back using numpy. If you need the
data to be accessible from other software then look into more portable
formats like HDF5, NetCDF, etc, etc...
