[SciPy-user] Saving data as a Modul!!

[Volker Lorrmann]

Hi guys,

thanks for your answers first.
Some data´s i wanna save are 3-dim arrays (size:6,600,1000), others are 
objects.
I found "save" from scipy.io, which is exactly what i´m looking for.

Here´s what i´m doing (Here the object is just named as "object", the 
array, "array") ;) ):

 >>> save('my_object', {'object': object})     # saves the object into 
the modul "my_data.py"
 >>> save('my_array', {'array': array})
 >>> from my_object import *                           
 >>> from my_array import *                        # and all my data´s 
are back

Maybe this will be usefull for others too.

Greetings

Volker
