How to save a class object to a file? - SheeppOSU - Jun-22-2019
i was using json to save some data for my game. While I was trying to save I noticed I got an error on serializing the Player class. I could save all the stats of the player, but that would be a hassle. Is there a way I can save the Player class to a file.

Pickle or Shelve.

If it's just one object (the player), then Pickle. Shelve is sort of like a dictionary interface for using Pickle with a lot of different things.

It should be noted that pickling can be dangerous. If you are just using it for a local game, then you dont have to worry about anything.
