> it is probably not possible to write a pure Python PickleBuffer Fair enough > a usable pure Python Pickler, but without support for the PickleBuffer class. That makes sense. However, for third party packages (e.g. zodbpickle, pikl) wanting a pure Python pickle module to use as a basis, I think it would make more sense to use the CPython 3.7 branch as a basis. Adding a pickle._Pickler variant to the 3.8 stdlib that can't do protocol 5, just for third-parties imposes a maintenance burden on the core devs for zero benefit to anyone. I propose closing this ticket as WONTFIX. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37210> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
