- Data Persistence
- ****************
- The modules described in this chapter support storing Python data in a
- persistent form on disk. The :mod:`pickle` and :mod:`marshal` modules can turn
- many Python data types into a stream of bytes and then recreate the objects from
- the bytes. The various DBM-related modules support a family of hash-based file
- formats that store a mapping of strings to other strings. The :mod:`bsddb`
- module also provides such disk-based string-to-string mappings based on hashing,
- and also supports B-Tree and record-based formats.
- The list of modules described in this chapter is:
