Then I thought: Why didn't you include the content, so people can actually answer this question here? Therefore the only answer you got here is utterly useless because the whole context is missing! Then, something worse dawned upon me: Since stackoverflow is a free site, their business model probably involves data mining or advertising, and since you just posted a link to that site with the sole goal of getting people to visit it, you have effectively (But I'm definitely not saying intentionally and knowingly!) become a spammer. I'm really not blaming you, but this is puzzling me and I'm not sure how to react at the moment... Cheers! Uli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

AFAIK, it's because the Pickler object keeps a reference to each object so that pointer-sharing works; if you write the same object multiple times, you get multiple references to a single object, not multiple objects. This means that the dictionaries aren't deleted while the Pickler object lives. It would seem that this issue could be avoided if pickle used weak references, but there may be issues which I have overlooked. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
