hi
i would like to pickle a lambda; according to the library docs in 2.3,
i believe this shouldnt be possible, since a lambda is not a function
defined at the top level of a module (?)
however, upon google searching for "python lambda pickle" i find 2
posts, one including gvr, which apparently demonstrate that this was
being attempted and even suggest that it is feasible. has this become
available yet, or will it be soon?
thanks

Why do you want to do this? According to the docs, all that
is saved for a function or a class is the name. Code, data and
so forth is not saved, so it makes no sense to try to pickle
a lambda unless you've bound it to a name at the module
level. See 3.14.4 (Python 2.3.3 Library Reference.)
If you really want to serialize a function's code, look at
the marshal module.

No, read it again. What you found was Guido figuring out how to
*prevent* people pickling lambdas. Functions are pickled by saving
the function name. Lambdas have no function name, so pickle complains
if you try to pickle them.

I think the idea may be to pickle a closure, to save the data inside
it. I do remember some mention about pickling generators. Anyway, in
Python 2.x the closest you can come to that is pickling class
instances.

That ought to work as long as you unpickle it into the same module
so you can get the original class definition.

Hi all,
After some research I've decided that my previous question (Confusing
problem between Tkinter.Intvar...) was headed in the wrong direction.
Partly because I think I have a greater understanding of what was
happening, and partly because pickling Tkinter widgets is an issue
that seems to have been touched on over the years but never really
acted on.
Postings back to '96 have talked about the need to pickle Tk widgets.

In particular:

Dear all,
I have a long running application (electromagnetic compatibility
measurements in mode-stirred chambers over GPIB) that use pickle
(cPickle) to autosave a class instance with all the measured data from
time to time.
At the beginning, pickling is quite fast but when the data becomes more
and more pickling slows down rapidly.

Hi all, happy new year,
I was trying to pickle a instance of a subclass of a tuple when I ran

I rewrite my class so I can pickle it?

I have a module that defines a Search class and a SearchResult class. I use
these classes by writing other modules that subclass both of them as needed
to interface with particular search engines.
My problem is that Search defines a method (called automatically by __del__)
to save its results between invocations:
def _saveresults(self):
self._oldresults = self._results
file = open(self._storefile(), 'w')

Hi all
this is my first go at pickling and I'm having trouble with
variables of type VT_DATE returned from a COM application.
I don't seem to be successfully pickling/depickling to the the same
value. I think this may be due to a strange return value. The VT_DATE
seems to be a floating point number 'days.(hours, seconds) since
midnight 30 December 1899'. in some cases I get a value (probably 0.0?)

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
