Using plain Python syntax for data is very convenient and has lots of
good points. And you don't need to implement the parser and compiler
yourself, they come included in Python. Some sort of pickle might be
nice if you need to edit the files in a custom editor, but for
hand-editing, the Python syntax is probably close to the nicest thing
you can get.
