-1 Serializing is more general; pickle is merely one form of serializing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_data_serialization_formats When practical, error messages should be more specific, not less. We don't say "arithmetic operation by zero" for division by zero errors, we specify which arithmetic operation failed. Unlike most serialization formats, "pickle" is both a noun (the name of the format) and the verb to convert to that format. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
