[Tutor] Using files to read data

[Micheal Dale Peterson]

hello I’m new to python. I have been trying to teach myself without asking questions because i feel i learn more. But i am stuck on this for a bout a week now.  I am trying to write something that stores x and y data with a time reference and then use it later to create some type of a graph.  I have tried saving to text files. and the closest i have come is using the json save.  this is the closest output i can get(posted below).  Trying to read it back does me no good. i can print each thing individually. everyday i try i either get a bunch of added characters or it separates every character. Sorry i can’t  post all of the ways i have tried. I have been at this for a week and have changed things a thousand times and made a mess of most my files at this point. haha. Any help would be appreciated.  I am running OS X version 10.12.5 with python 3.6.1. thank you in advance
