the following functions:
Insert() – To accept details of clock from the user and stores it in a csv file ‘watch.csv’. Each record of
clock contains following fields – ClockID, ClockName, YearofManf, Price. Function takes details of all
clocks and stores them in file in one go.

36 Aaruni Shah is learning to work with Binary files in Python using a process known 5
as pickling/de-pickling. Her teacher has given her the following incomplete code
which is creating a binary file namely Mydata.dat and then opens, reads and
displays the content of this created file
import___________ # Fill_Line1
sqlist=list()
for k in range(10):
sqlist.append(k*k)
fout=________________ #Fill_Line 2
_______________________ #Fill_Line 3
fout.close()
fin=_____________________ #Fill_Line 4
________________________ #Fill_Line 5
fin.close()
(a) Complete Fill_Line1 so that the required library becomes available to the
program
(b) Complete Fill_Line 2 so the above mentioned binary file is opened for
writing in the file object fout
(c) Complete Fill_Line 3 so that list created in nthe code , namely Sqlist, is
written in the open file.
(d) Complete Fill_Line 4 which will open the same binary file for reading in the
file object fin.
(e) Complete Fill_Line 5 so that the contents of the open file in the file handle
fin are read in a list namely mylist.
=====
a) import pickle
b) fout=open(“Mydata.dat”,’wb’)
c) pickle.dump(sqlist,fout)
d) fin=open(‘Mydata.dat’,’rb’)
e) mylist=pickle.load(fin)
