Is there a way to create a saving mechanism inside a python file?

As in a separate file that has things like

start = True
completed = False
score = 10000

You can save your code as py file. Is that what you ask?
check https://python-forum.io/Thread-Basic-How...ython-code

I don't think so.
I would like a way to see how many times the program was started. No big deal, but that resets if it is in the file that is restarting. I would like a way to save it OUTSIDE of the file, so it can reach into the other file and get the EXACT number of times the program restarted.

Edit: I don't know if it matters which extension the file has, because it doesn't really matter to me.
Edit: As well as knowing the EXACT amount of times the program restarted, i want to store the amount of endings a player receives. Which means a TRUE or FALSE if the ending has already been found, and a number for the total of endings found.

You can save/update whatever information you want in a separate file or in a database every time when the program runs.

Did you check the documentation?
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/input...ting-files

or if you decide to use a sqlite DB
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html

I did. It didn't help enough.

The only thing i learned is

f = open('save_file', 'w')

writes to save_file.*, but i don't know how to write anything, or read it

you are kidding, right?
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/input...le-objects
and
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/input...-with-json
if you want to use json (better, because you get structured data)
there are numerous examples how to read and write to file

Believe me, the sooner you learn to use the docs, the better
