I subclassed the dict class and added a __setstate__ method because I want to add some extra steps when I unpickle these entities. This is a toy example of what I am doing:
class Entity(dict): def __setstate__(self, d): log.debug("blah...") Based on my experiments, the data in d *IS NOT* the data stored in my instances when I do stuff like: e = Entity() e['a'] = 1 Instead, the stuff in d is the data stored when I do stuff like: e.fibityfoo = 99 Here's my question: Is there anything I have to do to make sure that my real dictionary data is correctly reloaded during the unpickle phase? In other words, should I run super(Entity, self).__setstate__(d) or something like that? TIA Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
