Has the advantage that the files backing the data structures are human readable and can be edited using your favorite text editor.
from yaml_backed_structs import PersistentDict, PersistentSet
pdict = PersistentDict('my-path.yml')
pdict['a'] = 1 # this will automatically be saved
pdict['b'] = []
pdict['b'].append(2) # this will not be saved automatically
pdict.save() # but we can save it like thispip install yaml_backed_structs
