Pickle (Python)

In Python, "Pickle" is a tool used to save complex data structures—like lists, dictionaries, or custom objects—so they can be stored in a file and later retrieved exactly as they were. Think of it as a way to "serialize" or convert your in-memory data into a format that can be written to disk. When you need that data again, "Pickle" "deserializes" it, restoring it to its original form in memory. This process makes it easier to save, share, and reload data without having to reconstruct it manually each time.
