[BangPypers] Favorite tips/techniques

[s|s]

There are times when the project requires a large blob of data which needs
to be loaded with the python code. A general practice is to use pickle and
json object which is opened using file functions etc.

I tend to convert this kind of data (depending on size) into python file
using pprint and store it as code included using python standard coding
convention. Saves hassle of packaging and caring about path convention. Of
course it is not correct convention for all situations.
