In python, how would I go about creating a save system for a text adventure?

Question

Basically, a continue from left off system... kinda like any game has. So far the idea I got going is to save the certain variables into a text file like name, health, xp, etc. and have a location variable that determines where the player is in the game and will act as the continue from left off. Is there a simpler way about going about doing this?

Save all this information in some sort of object and pickle it. https://docs.python.org/2/library/pickle.html

You could use pickle or json or xml. See also this question. Or this one. Or just google data persistence.
