Hey @anukritigarg13

The simplest way to store a dictionary would be to use the pickle module. I’m attaching a code snippet demonstrating its use.

import pickle

a = {'hello': 'world'}

with open('filename.pickle', 'wb') as handle:
    pickle.dump(a, handle)

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

print(a)
print(a_loaded)

Hope this helps!

Can you share the complete error message here? Also, ensure you are not using Python 2.x.
