What do you mean to pack? Maybe Pickle is what you want. import cPickle variable = 124348654333577698 cPickle.dump(variable,open('filename', 'w')) To load it: import cPickle vaariable = cPickle.load(open('filename')) It is not "into a string", but instead of a filename, use a string with stringio -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
