You mean the actual code?  You have to use marshal rather than pickle,
the Python versions have to be the same at both ends, and you better
have some kind of authenticated transport to stop malicious code from
getting accepted and run by the receiving end.
Yes, but I wasn't able to marshal/unmarshal them correctly as shown in my examples

The marshal module can be used to dump the Code of an Function (or
anything else), like you have done. If you have the Code, you can
reconstruct the function.

import types
import marshal
def a(): pass
...
s=marshal.dumps(a.__code__)
f=types.FunctionType(marshal.loads(s), {})
f
<function a at 0x7f6308a66de8>

The second parameter is the global scoop of the function.

If you want to marshal a class, things get a little more complicated,
because these consist of many code objects and you also need the code to assemble them together.

There are two easy ways I can think of right now:

1.
Send the string of the code you want to transfer:
s="""class A: pass"""

and then:
exec(s) in globals()

2.
Encapsule the stuff you want to send in a function.


Best,

Thanks Andreas, I'll give that a try. I didn't really want to do the string method which is why I was trying to serialize.

best,
Gabriel
