Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Diane Trout <di...@ghic.org> * Package name : cloudpickle Version : 0.2.1 Upstream Author : PiCloud, Inc. * URL : https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle * License : BSD-3-Clause Programming Lang: Python Description : Extended pickling support for Python objects
cloudpickle makes it possible to serialize Python constructs not supported by the default `pickle` module from the Python standard library. . cloudpickle is especially useful for cluster computing where Python expressions are shipped over the network to execute on remote hosts, possibly close to the data. . Among other things, `cloudpickle` supports pickling for lambda expressions, functions and classes defined interactively in the `__main__` module. This is a dependency for dask. It should be maintained through the Debian Python Modules Team.
