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

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?

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

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