I would like to pickle an extension type (written in pyrex). I have it working thus far by defining three methods:
class C: # for pickling __getstate__(self): ... # make 'state_obj' return state_obj __reduce__(self): return C,(args,to,__init__),me.__getstate__() # for unpickling __setstate__(self,state_obj): self.x=state_obj.x ... This gets the class pickling and unpickling. However, I'd like to not specify arguments for __init__ (as I do now in __reduce__), and so not have __init__ invoked during unpickling. I would like to have the pickling machinery somehow create an uninitialized object, and then call its __setstate__, where I can re- create it from 'state_obj'. Is there a kosher way to do so, that is without me having to have a special mode in the constructor for when the object is being created by the unpickler? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
