[Tutor] pickling?

[Chad Crabtree]

I would suggest that you use the csv module to make a file that is 
spreadsheet readable so that you can look at it.  Maybe even make
graphs 
from Excel if you care to. 

http://docs.python.org/lib/module-csv.html

I really like this, and I find it pretty easy to understand by the 
examples in the above doc.

Good Luck.
