What is a PICKLE file?

Pickle files are binary formatted developer files; Python designed modules that possess multiple functions. It allows objects to be converted to files that can be stored on a disk then converted back on the original program at runtime as a saved byte stream of characters that represent the objects that are being converted, or serialized, back and forth. More often than not, Pickle files use ”.P” as an extension rather than the ”.pickle” file extension. The serialization process is called ”pickling” – thus is the origin of the name of the file extension – and the deserialization process is referred to as ”unpickling”. The idea of pickle files and the pickling process is to reconstruct the character stream into a new Python script. That way, they can recognize and track the ones that have been previously serialized and avoid serializing them again. Any additional references will be pointed towards the original copy.
