Is there anything that pickle + copy_reg cannot serialize?

Hi,

I need to look into serialization for python objects, including codes,
recursive types etc etc. Currently, I have no idea exactly what needs to
be serialized, so my scope is to be as wide as possible.

I understand that marshal is extended by pickle to serialize class
instances, shared elements, and recursive data structures
(http://www.effbot.org/librarybook/pickle.htm) but cannot handle code
types. pickle can be used together with copy_reg and marshal to
serialize code types as well
(http://www.effbot.org/librarybook/copy-reg.htm).

So my question will be, are there anything that pickle/copy_reg/marshal
combination cannot serialize? If so, what are the workarounds?

Thanks
Maurice

Hi, under python 2.2, the pickle/unpickle sequence incorrectly restores a larger data structure I have. Under Python 2.3, these structures now give an explicit exception from Pickle.memoize(): assert id(obj) not in self.memo I'm shrinking the offending data structure down to find the problem

I'd like to be able to pickle instancemethod objects mainly because I want to be able to delay a call like ``foo(spam, badger)`` by dumping ``foo``, ``spam`` and ``badger`` to disk and loading them again later. Sometimes the callable ``foo`` is actually a bound method, e.g. ``bar.baz``, but in such cases, pickle doesn't work by default because it doesn't know how to pickle/unpickle instancemethod objects. I was thinking of doing...

Why can pickle serialize references to functions, but not methods? Pickling a function serializes the function name, but pickling a staticmethod, classmethod, or instancemethod generates an error. In these cases, pickle knows the instance or class, and the method, so what's the problem? Pickle doesn't serialize code objects, so why can't it serialize the name as it does for functions? Is this one of those features that's feasible, but...

Hello all! I have the following weird problem and since I am new to Python I somehow cannot figure out an elegant solution. The problem reduces to the following question: How to pickle a collections.defaultdict object that has set the default_factory property?

No. It does not work. def make_staticmethod(inst, methodname):     return getattr(inst, methodname) def pickle_function(method):     return make_staticmethod, (method.im_self, method.im_func.__name__) copy_reg.pickle(new.function, pickle_function, make_staticmethod)

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