Pickling a Cookie.SimpleCookie (or SmartCookie) when using protocol=2 seems to do something very strange. Protocol 0/1 work fine:
$ python2.4 Python 2.4.2 (#2, Nov 20 2005, 17:04:48) [GCC 4.0.3 20051111 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import cPickle, Cookie >>> cPickle.loads(cPickle.dumps(Cookie.SimpleCookie('hi=there'))) <SimpleCookie: hi='there'> Protocol 2 however: >>> pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(Cookie.Cookie('hi=there'),2)) <SmartCookie: hi=<Morsel: hi='there'>> >>>pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(Cookie.Cookie('hi=there'),2))['hi'].__dict__ {'coded_value': '"ccopy_reg\\012_reconstructor\\012p1\\012(cCookie\\012Morsel\\012p2\\012c__builtin__\\012dict\\012p3\\012(dp4\\012S\'comment\'\\012p5\\012S\'\'\\012sS\'domain\'\\012p6\\012S\'\'\\012sS\'version\'\\012p7\\012S\'\'\\012sS\'secure\'\\012p8\\012S\'\'\\012sS\'path\'\\012p9\\012S\'\'\\012sS\'expires\'\\012p10\\012S\'\'\\012sS\'max-age\'\\012p11\\012S\'\'\\012stRp12\\012(dp13\\012S\'coded_value\'\\012p14\\012S\'there\'\\012p15\\012sS\'value\'\\012p16\\012g15\\012sS\'key\'\\012p17\\012S\'hi\'\\012p18\\012sb."', 'value': <Morsel: hi='there'>, 'key': 'hi'} I can't really say what goes wrong here, but it looks like a bug to me -- comments? I guess I'll have to go to protocol 0 for this, or not serialize the cookie but re-parse it on the other side (this pickle gets passed down a UNIX socket together with the file descriptor of a request, in a load balancing system). -- =============================================================== <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> London, E14 <URL:http://www.andreasen.org/> <*> =============================================================== -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
