Se o “trabalho” de um indivíduo tivesse um comprimento constante no texto, você poderia alterar apenas a parte do texto correspondente ao “trabalho” do indivíduo desejado: essa é a mesma ideia do remetente.
Mas, a meu ver, melhor seria colocar as características dos indivíduos em um dicionário gravado em arquivo com cPickle:
from cPickle import dump, load
with open('cards','wb') as f:
dump({'Dan':['Warrior',500,1,0],'Jim':['dragonfly',300,2,10],'Somo':['cosmonaut',490,3,65]},f)
with open('cards','rb') as g:
id_cards = load(g)
print 'id_cards before change==',id_cards
id_cards['Jim'][0] = 'Wizard'
with open('cards','w') as h:
dump(id_cards,h)
with open('cards') as e:
id_cards = load(e)
print '\nid_cards after change==',id_cards
