Python text game: how to make a save feature? -

i in process of making text based game python, , have general idea down. going make game in depth point where, take longer 1 sitting finish it. want able make game where, on exit, save list of variables (player health, gold, room place, etc) file. if player wants load file, go load menu, , load file.

i using version 2.7.5 of python, , on windows.

thanks in advance. :)

if understand question correctly, asking way serialize objects. easiest way use standard module pickle:

import pickle  player = player(...) level_state = level(...)  # saving open('savefile.dat', 'wb') f:     pickle.dump([player, level_state], f, protocol=2)  # loading open('savefile.dat', 'rb') f:     player, level_state = pickle.load(f) 

standard python objects , simple classes level of nesting can stored way. if classes have nontrivial constructors may necessary hint pickle @ needs saving using corresponding protocol.
