4The modules described in this chapter support storing Python data in a
5persistent form on disk. The \module{pickle} and \module{marshal}
6modules can turn many Python data types into a stream of bytes and
7then recreate the objects from the bytes. The various DBM-related
8modules support a family of hash-based file formats that store a
9mapping of strings to other strings. The \module{bsddb} module also
10provides such disk-based string-to-string mappings based on hashing,
11and also supports B-Tree and record-based formats.
