No, pickle also comes with an overhead >>> from datetime import * >>> import pickle >>> t = datetime.now() >>> len(pickle.dumps(t)) 70 For the present discussion, DATETIME_DATASIZE is the only relevant number because we are not going to change anything other than the payload layout in the datetime object or its pickle serialization. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15443> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
