with open('filename.pickle', 'rb') as handle:
    b = pickle.load(handle)

print a == b

with open('filename.pkl', 'rb') as handle:
    b = pickle.load(handle)

print (a == b)

f = open(file_name,'wb')
pickle.dump(my_data,f)
f.close()

Example 4: write data to using pickle

import pickle

example_dict = {1:"6",2:"2",3:"f"}

pickle_out = open("dict.pickle","wb")
pickle.dump(example_dict, pickle_out)
pickle_out.close()

Example 5: save a file as a pickle
