Alexander Belopolsky <[email protected]> added the comment:
Not a proposed solution, but food for thought. Methods do have __reduce_ex__
method which works with protocol 3:
>>> class X:
... def f(self):
... pass
>>> X.f.__reduce_ex__(3)
(<function __newobj__ at 0x100579288>, (<class 'function'>,), {}, None, None)
This result is useless for several reasons:
1. <class 'function'> cannot be pickled because although it's name suggests a
builtin, it is only available as types.FunctionType.
2. If we define builtins.function, X.f can be pickled
>>> import builtins, types
>>> builtins.function = types.FunctionType
>>> pickle.dumps(X.f)
b'\x80\x03cbuiltins\nfunction\nq\x00)\x81q\x01}q\x02b.'
but the result is useless:
>>> pickle.loads(_)
Traceback (most recent call last):
..
File "Lib/pickle.py", line 1317, in loads
encoding=encoding, errors=errors).load()
TypeError: Required argument 'code' (pos 1) not found
I think the approach of pickling the name of the function as is done in the
Twisted link above is the only reasonable one and is consistent with the way
module level functions are pickled.
