Do you want to save the *source*code* of your class, or do you want to
save created *instances* -objects- of your classes to retrieve them later
(like a database)?

You just create the .py file with any text editor, containing the source
code for all your classes.

This would try to save the *class* definition, which is usually not
required because they reside on your source files.
If this is actually what you really want to do, try to explain us exactly
why do you think so. Chances are that there is another solution for this.
