Oops I've got my own wee dictionary reader, writers. Very simple - So, you have a user Dave, who has a dictionary of {'address':'21 jump St', 'Number: 'One, the loneliest.'} So, you create a dictionary of dictionaries -myDict = {'Dave' : {'address':'21 jump St', 'Number: 'One, the loneliest.'}

Re: [Tutor] Address book sort of

Couldn't tell if this got sent, so I'm re-sending. Apologies for duplicates: Well, one option is to use pickle (or cPickle, preferrably) to dump the python objects to a file: from cPickle import load, dump def save(fname,addressbook): file = open(filename,'w') dump(addressbook,file)
