I vaguely remember you rejecting a proposal along these lines when Brett was doing the library renaming. The patch (as applied) turns on the renaming automatically when used with protocol 2 (i.e. all object names are stored with their 2.x names, not their new names). Hagen points out that 3.1 proto 2 pickles can't be read by 3.0. I would think that the back-translation should be disabled by default or else we're going to live with the 2.x names for a very long time. I don't care much one way or the other. Just thought you should see it before it got released and set in stone. It's not too late for a one line change, setting the fix_imports default from True to False. FWIW, the argument for leaving the default as True is the theory that anyone using protocol 2 is likely doing so to exchange data with 2.x. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6137> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
