Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. >Category: Documentation >Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Kent Johnson (kjohnson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: No simple example for pickle Initial Comment: The docs for pickle lack a simple example of typical usage. The Example page has only an advanced example. I suggest something like this be added to the Usage or Examples page: Here is a simple example that shows how to use pickle to save and restore a dictionary: >>> import pickle >>> data = dict(a=1, b=2, c=[3,4,5], d='cheese') >>> f=open('data.pickle', 'wb') >>> pickle.dump(data, f) >>> f.close() >>> >>> f=open('data.pickle', 'rb') >>> data2=pickle.load(f) >>> f.close() >>> data2 {'a': 1, 'c': [3, 4, 5], 'b': 2, 'd': 'cheese'} Kent ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1441072&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
