import pickle as pk
f = open("featuresvmt.txt", "w")

pk.dump(out_val, f)
f.close()

Your code can run and create a file where you run iPython. (Of course you must initialized both of used variable)
If you run iPython from terminal or command prompt, which directory is your actual path will contain the new file.

  • The file should be opened in binary writing mode: f = open("featuresvmt.txt", "wb").

  • The file featuresvmt.txt will be created in the current working directory. You can find the current working directory using os.getcwd(). Or, simply supply an absolute path: f = open("/path/to/featuresvmt.txt", "wb").

import pickle as pk
feature_svmt, out_val = 'foo', 12.34

with open("featuresvmt.txt", "wb") as f:
    pk.dump(feature_svmt, f)
    pk.dump(out_val, f)

with open("featuresvmt.txt", "rb") as f:
    print(pk.load(f))
    # foo
    print(pk.load(f))
    # 12.34
