Not sure I really understand whether you want to store your data in just 
any format or if it need to be a "binary" format or else... And you 
don't tell much about how your data structure and how it will be used.

Anyway: two possible solutions are csv or serialization.

For the first option, see the csv module
http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html#module-csv

For the second, look at pickle and shelve modules:
http://docs.python.org/library/pickle.html#module-pickle
http://docs.python.org/library/shelve.html#module-shelve


If none of this fits your needs, please provide more details !-)
