<li>Switch back to Python Shell #1.
<li>Open the <code>entry.pickle</code> file.
<li>Load the serialized data into a new variable, <var>entry2</var>.
<li>Python confirms that the two dictionaries, <var>entry</var> and <var>entry2</var>, are identical. In this shell, you built <var>entry</var> from the ground up, starting with an empty dictionary and manually assigning values to specific keys. You serialized this dictionary and stored it in the <code>entry.pickle</code> file. Now you&#8217;ve read the serialized data from that file and created a perfect replica of the original data structure.

<li>For reasons that will become clear later in this chapter, I want to point out that the value of the <code>'tags'</code> key is a tuple, and the value of the <code>'internal_id'</code> key is a <code>bytes</code> object.
