These sound like RPi questions, rather than Python questions. You may find knowledgeable people here on this list, but if not, I would advise hunting down an RPi mailing list or newsgroup and asking there. Most of us here use full computers, where questions like "how do I save a file?" are trivially easy... you may find, actually, that starting on a PC and then pushing the file to the RPi is the easiest way to work.
