[Tutor] python simulations - saving state

[Carlos Daniel Ruvalcaba Valenzuela]

Depends, you can pickle the list, but all objects need to be
pickleable, maybe you can put up with this requeriment by changing
your events to be pickleable?, but i don't know what data you store in
a event or what kind of data is it.
