I'm not sure I agree with how this was resolved. We're adding complexity to the datetime unpickler to support unpickling pickles created in Python 2 in Python 3? I also don't really understand the encoding parts of it, but it smells very fishy to me. I agree with Gregory here, pickle has so many other problems when used between versions of Python that it's simply not useful for cross-version serialization. It is useful for things like inter-process communication between two trusted instances of Python programs running the same version. Also, what is the plan here for 2020+? Do we remove this hack for Python 3.9, or are we stuck with it indefinitely? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue22005> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
