Good news. I tried pickling with "cPickle" and it works for pickling dictionaries and classes where "pickle" didn't. I guess this arises from the fact that per the documentation, "cPickle can be up to 1000 times faster than pickle because the former is implemented in C." If anyone can expound on this great. But for now I'm very pleased that pickling is supported on pythonCE with wxPython.
Here's my updated test code, *pickleDump.py* import cPickle as pickle import traceback, sys """ This test works on PythonCE 2.3.4, the most recent version of PythonCE for which I've found wxPython compiled. """ class cdata: """ This class emulates the data class I was originally trying to pickle. Although pickle didn't seem to work for classes or dictionaries, cPickle worked for both. I had to include the instance class in the load module in order to unpickle the pickled instance data. """ def __init__(self, x): self.data = x f = open('test.txt','w') error = open('dump_error.txt','w') sys.stderr = error log = open('dump_out.txt','w') sys.stdout = log #var = [n for n in range(10)] var = {'parm1':1, 'parm2':'2a'} try: tdata = cdata(var) print tdata.__dict__['data'] pickle.dump(tdata,f) print 'Pickled dumped OK in,', __file__ except: traceback.print_exc() print 'Pickle dump failed! in', __file__ f.close() *pickleLoad.py* import cPickle as pickle import sys, traceback class cdata: """ This class emulates the data class I was originally trying to pickle.
