Will S added the comment: Documentation would be appreciated. I have a project that uses BaseManager, Client, and Listener to create some servers and clients. I would like to update the project to work with Python 3 and would prefer to update the clients and the servers separately (i.e. switch the client to Python 3 while the server is run with Python 2.7). However, BaseManager uses connection.Client which uses connection._ConnectionBase which uses reduction.ForkingPickler without a protocol argument. It seems the default protocol is 3 on Python 3.6 and 2 on Python 2.7 (contrary to the comment above about v2 being used). I just want to set the protocol version to 2 in Python 3.6. Can I do that with the changes added by this patch?
I tried creating pickle2reducer.py like this: from multiprocessing.reduction import ForkingPickler, AbstractReducer class ForkingPickler2(ForkingPickler): def __init__(self, *args): if len(args) > 1: args[1] = 2 else: args.append(2) super().__init__(*args) @classmethod def dumps(cls, obj, protocol=2): return ForkingPickler.dumps(obj, protocol) def dump(obj, file, protocol=2): ForkingPickler2(file, protocol).dump(obj) class Pickle2Reducer(AbstractReducer): ForkingPickler = ForkingPickler2 register = ForkingPickler2.register dump = dump and then putting import pickle2reducer multiprocessing.reducer = pickle2reducer.Pickle2Reducer() at the top of my module before import multiprocessing.connection but I still see "ValueError: unsupported pickle protocol: 3" on the server when I connect with a Python 3.6 client. ---------- nosy: +Will S _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28053> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
