Pickle files (.pkl) are used to store serialized Python objects such as DataFrames, lists, dictionaries, or trained models. They allow quick saving and loading of Python objects without converting them to text formats.
Importing Pickle files in python
import pickle # Library for object serialization
# Open the pickle file in read-binary mode
with open("data.pkl", "rb") as file:
data = pickle.load(file) # Load the stored Python object
Using Pickle with Pandas
import pandas as pd
# Load a pickled pandas DataFrame
df = pd.read_pickle("data.pkl")
