Ethan Furman added the comment: >From the pickle docs:
===================================================================== Note that functions (built-in and user-defined) are pickled by “fully qualified” name reference, not by value. This means that only the function name is pickled, along with the name of the module the function is defined in. Neither the function’s code, nor any of its function attributes are pickled. Thus the defining module must be importable in the unpickling environment, and the module must contain the named object, otherwise an exception will be raised. Similarly, classes are pickled by named reference, ... ===================================================================== There is no bug here; there /may/ be a doc clarification here. However, if we're talking about enhancing pickle we can take 3.3 off the table, and unless somebody gets busy quick 3.4 as well. Personally, I don't see the need. Just define your functions at the top level (with def, not lambda -- lambda functions are anonymous and don't have a useful __name__ attribute). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19272> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
