    <p>More specific dupe of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/875228/simple-data-storing-in-python">875228—Simple data storing in Python</a>.</p> <p>I have a rather large dict (6 GB) and I need to do some processing on it. I'm trying out several document clustering methods, so I need to have the whole thing in memory at once. I have other functions to run on this data, but the contents will not change.</p> <p>Currently, every time I think of new functions I have to write them, and then re-generate the dict. I'm looking for a way to write this dict to a file, so that I can load it into memory instead of recalculating all it's values.</p> <p>to oversimplify things it looks something like: {((('word','list'),(1,2),(1,3)),(...)):0.0, ....}</p> <p>I feel that python must have a better way than me looping around through some string looking for : and ( trying to parse it into a dictionary.</p>

    2. COI would use [ZODB](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zope_Object_Database) if you need a dict too large to fit into memory to be persistent.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
