Writing a dict to txt file and reading it back?

by

Have you tried the json module? JSON format is very similar to python dictionary. And it’s human readable/writable:

>>> import json
>>> d = {"one":1, "two":2}
>>> json.dump(d, open("text.txt",'w'))

This code dumps to a text file

$ cat text.txt 
{"two": 2, "one": 1}

Also you can load from a JSON file:

>>> d2 = json.load(open("text.txt"))
>>> print d2
{u'two': 2, u'one': 1}
