11. Persistance des données
***************************

The modules described in this chapter support storing Python data in a
persistent form on disk.  The "pickle" and "marshal" modules can turn
many Python data types into a stream of bytes and then recreate the
objects from the bytes.  The various DBM-related modules support a
family of hash-based file formats that store a mapping of strings to
other strings.  The "bsddb" module also provides such disk-based
string-to-string mappings based on hashing, and also supports B-Tree
and record-based formats.
