I have a number of functions that I need to pickle without necessarily knowing their names in advance. My first thought was to put all the functions in a class, then pickle the class, but it doesn't really work like I expected it to.
import cPickle class PickleClass: def Awesome(self): pass stored = cPickle.dumps(PickleClass) del PickleClass restored = cPickle.loads(stored) Results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pickletest.py", line 7, in <module> restored = cPickle.loads(stored) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PickleClass' So, the class itself isn't being pickled, just an instance of it. This being the case, what's the best way to store these functions? Maybe dump the class to a string and pull them back with an exec statement when I need them? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
