On friday i wrote a this message: [...] I'm writing an application who needs to handle a lot of information of several files. So, i think the better way is design a batch process to catch that information in a dictionary and write it in a file. So, after that when a user wants to retrieve something, only with an execfile i'll have all the information avaiable.
Creating the file with pythonic syntax will be a hard job so, is there some module to do that? is there a better way? The information will be used no more than 3-4 days a month and install databases is not allowed. [...] Someone suggest me the pickle module. I'll try it and it works, but pickle dumps is slower than writing the file with pythonic syntax. (26 seconds vs 6) After that, i have a DIC.txt to execfile with it. The application dies there. The memory grow up till de limit. Is possible that execfile of a 19 mb file takes more than 600 mb of memory? thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
