Yes, provided that the socket is a stream socket (e.g. TCP, Unix), not a datagram socket (e.g. UDP). > Can anyone provide a simple code example of the client and server sides? Pickling via a socket is no different to pickling via a file. For a socket, the .makefile() method will return a suitable file object. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
