Hmmm...... I can't guess what format you will create the 'tables' in, or what format you want to save them in. You need the pyserial module to read data from the serial port - I assume you have already discovered that ?
Writing a text file to disc is *extremely* trivial.... Turning a table - (list ?) - into a single string for writing to file is also *extremely* trivial.... Are you familiar with the basic python data types, built-in functions, and string methods ? If not - please try the Python tutorial at www.python.org - it won't be very long before you can do this. If your real problem is more difficult (i.e. related to pyserial or choosing a data format) then please provide more details.
