Python supports nested lists, which is very nice and can be used for very
simple databases.
However, I could not find a way to write nested lists to files & retrieve
them easily.
The .writelines() method expects a string as an argument.
Is there a method to dump any list on disk & read it back, or is it
necessary to code this task ?
The array module seems to have such method, however, I could not find
sufficient code examples to understand how the array module works. The
Python Library Reference mentions the .fromfile() and .tofile() methods,
does anyone have experience with the array module, especially whether it
allows to write & retrieve nested arrays without problems ? Could you pass
me some sample code ?
