Matlab allows you to save the workspace very easy by saving all the variables, objects, arrays, etc, For details read save in workspace MATLAB.

Is it not possible to do that in python without having to resort to something annoying like a JSON file, or a CVS or any other annoying format that need to serialize myself or parse?

I just want something like:

save('file_name', ... variable names ...)

save('file_name') # save everything.

for example it should work with any objects, numpy libraries etc, just save my workspace and then let me load it back.

you can try to pickle your globals() and locals(), should work with most of the stuff. – lejlot Jul 10 '16 at 20:23

If you are using IPython, you could use the magic %save – Jul 10 '16 at 20:24

The `dill` package might provide for what you need: http://trac.mystic.cacr.caltech.edu/project/pathos/wiki/dill.html – juanpa.arrivillaga Jul 10 '16 at 20:24

You could use spicy.io --> sio.savemat http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.17.0/reference/tutorial/io.html – C.Colden Jul 11 '16 at 11:24
