How can I use pickle to save a dict?

Question

I have looked through the information that the Python docs give, but I\'m still a little confused. Could somebody post sample code that would write a new file then use pickl

Answer 1

I've found pickling confusing (possibly because I'm thick). I found that this works, though:

myDictionaryString=str(myDictionary)

Which you can then write to a text file. I gave up trying to use pickle as I was getting errors telling me to write integers to a .dat file. I apologise for not using pickle.
