Can you permanently change python code by input?

Question

I'm still learning python and am currently developing an API (artificial personal assistant e.g. Siri or Cortana). I was wondering if there was a way to update code by input. For example, if I had a list- would it be possible to PERMANENTLY add a new item even after the program has finished running.

I read that you would have to use SQLite, is that true? And are there any other ways?

Hello J Nowak

I think what you want to do is save the input data to a file (Eg. txt file). You can view the link below which will show you how to read and write to a text file.
