As the various storage mechanisms get discussed and debated, I thought a 
recent article of mine might provide some useful insights into Python's 
serialization capabilities:

::: Python persistence management :::
Persisting data is all well and good, and there are countless ways to 
do it, including files, databases, and so on. But when it comes to 
objects themselves, how do you keep them around so they'll be available 
in their same state for later use? Programmer Patrick O'Brien 
illustrates several persistence mechanisms for Python and takes a 
detailed look at the object-serialization process known as "pickling."
