That is one possibility. > The Official Python Tutorial has always assumed a certain programmer's > competence. Such a person is much more likely to know about and find use for language independent json than Python-specific pickle. The tutorial was written before json existed, but if it were written today, json would seem to me to be the better choice for first exposure to serialization. If someone cares enough to write a patch, I think it should be considered. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18840> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
