Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Machin (sjmachin) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: pickle files should be opened in binary mode Initial Comment: pickle (and cPickle): At _each_ mention of the pickle file, the docs should say that it should be opened with 'wb' or 'rb' mode as appropriate, so that a pickle written on one OS can be read reliably on another. The example code at the end of the section should be updated to use the 'b' flag. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Irmen de Jong (irmen) Date: 2005-01-16 16:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=129426 Can't the pickle code just freopen() the file itself, using binary mode? Or is this against Python's rule "explicit is better than implicit" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1102649&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
