Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Here are the issues for me.
1. Except for your interest, this is a lower priority for me that most all of the other 125 Idle issues. 2. I am not familiar with pickling and wonder about the following in the patch. It deletes a statememt copyreg.pickle(types.CodeType, pickle_code, unpickle_code) that registers two functions. But the new code only registers pickle_code. Will message = pickle.loads(packet) then work? Maybe, since pickle_code has this. return unpickle_code, (ms,) Is this normal? Is registring unpickle_code not needed? Would it make any sense to wrap code objects in a CodePickler class with __getstate__ and __setstate__ methods? 3. The interprocess communication implemented in rpc.py is central to Idle's execution of user code. So I would want to be confident that a patch does not break it. What I would like is a test script (executed by hand is ok) that works now, fails with the deletion of the copyreg statement, and works again with the rest of the patch. 4. I have no idea if or from where a code object is sent. One way to search would be to grep idlelib for rpc calls. Another would be to add a print statement to pickle_code, start Idle from the console with 'python -m idlelib', and run through all the menu options that involve the user process while watching the console for messages. So you could try one of the searches methods to find a test. Or you can wait for someone who currently understands pickle well enough to review and apply the patches without a test. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21986> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
