Hi all this is my first go at pickling and I'm having trouble with variables of type VT_DATE returned from a COM application.
I don't seem to be successfully pickling/depickling to the the same value. I think this may be due to a strange return value. The VT_DATE seems to be a floating point number 'days.(hours, seconds) since midnight 30 December 1899'. in some cases I get a value (probably 0.0?) which is printed as '12/30/0/ 00:00:00' and I wonder if this strange value is causing the depickling to fail. Haven't yet followed this to ground... Anyway, I'm sure someone out there has successfully pickled such values and wondered how it was done. FWIW my current code is: import pywintypes import pythoncom import copy_reg def picklePyTime(o): return unpicklePyTime, (float(o),) def unpicklePyTime(po): return pywintypes.Time(po) copy_reg.pickle(pythoncom.PyTimeType, picklePyTime) Thanks jon N -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
