Conceptually it is very simple. Pickle takes a python object
and serialises it to a sequence of bytes which it stores in a
text file. The text file can be unpickled by reading it back
and de-serialising it. The object you wind up with should be
exactly the same as the object you started with. The idea
being that you can store (or persist) your objects even while
your program is not running. The pickle module provides the
functions to do all of that.

Are there  any more specific problems you are having?
