Data saving help

[zedwardson]

A simple way to do it is just write it tab separated:

with open('character.txt', 'w') as character_file:
    character_file.write('str\t{}\n'.format(str))
    character_file.write('dex\t{}\n'.format(dex))
    ...

Then you can load them:

with open('character.txt') as character_file:
    for line in character_file:
        attribute, value = line.split()
        if attribute == 'str':
            str = int(value)
        ...

Two pieces of advice: learn classes (there's a link to a tutorial in my signature, below) and upgrade to Python 3.6.

Main reason using 2.7 is that I have access to a book on 2.7. If I was to put this data into a class can I save it just as a class and then load it as a class? (I did OOP in Java years ago but on my first day in Python.)
