Writing dictionary output to a file

[simon place]

i use this to save and reload a dict, slower than pickling but you get a human 
readable file and its soooo simple.


a={1:'one',2:'two'}
 >>> a
{1: 'one', 2: 'two'}


# to save to dict.txt
 >>> print >>file('dict.txt','w+'),str(a)


# to reload
 >>> exec('b=dict('+file('dict.txt','r').read()+')')


 >>> b
{1: 'one', 2: 'two'}
 >>>
