How to pickling VT_DATE values?

jkn
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?)
which is printed as

'12/30/0/ 00:00:00'

and I wonder if this strange value is causing the depickling to fail.
Haven't yet followed this to ground...

Anyway, I'm sure someone out there has successfully pickled such values
and wondered how it was done. FWIW my current code is:
import pywintypes
import pythoncom

import copy_reg
def picklePyTime(o) :
return unpicklePyTime, (float(o),)

def unpicklePyTime( po):
return pywintypes.Time (po)

copy_reg.pickle (pythoncom.PyTi meType, picklePyTime)

Thanks
jon N

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?

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.

I'm having trouble pickling subclasses of dict when they contain cycles. In particular: >>> import pickle >>> class D(dict): pass >>> d = D() >>> d = d # add a cycle. >>> print d {1: {...}} >>> pickle.dump(d, open('d.pickle', 'w'))

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 into a problem. Pickling doesn't work with HIGHEST_PROTOCOL. How should I rewrite my class so I can pickle it? Thanks , Fedor

Hi all, I have an application were i want the user to "configure" some settings which are variables within different classes. My question is should i just pickle out these variables to a file in some particular order then read it back. Or use xml to save the config values ? Which one scales better if settings increase? Other sugestions?

If I gather correctly pickling an object will pickle its entire hierarchy, but what if there are certain types of objects anywhere within the hierarchy that I don't want included in the serialization? What do I do to exclude them? Thanks.
