address book | Python Fiddle

"""write info out to a text file - how to do this is in code academy at the end (input/output)
also probably create an address book class which saves all the info and has a "write to file" method
that writes the address to the file.
if has another method which can search the file and return an address if given a name or address or phone etc
global variables may help?"""
