[Tutor] Problem with data storage

[Chad Crabtree]

The Ideal solution for this is csv.

http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.4/lib/module-csv.html

that way it can be edited by any spreadsheet program.  and even a
text 
editor if the user is careful.  Or you can just build the data
structer 
yourself.
something like
###file##
key1=value1
key2=value2


###Reader
aDict={}
for line in aFile:
    key,value=line.strip().split("=")
    aDict[key]=value
