New submission from Guido Imperiale <crusade...@gmail.com>:
The documentation for the pickle module states, about the 3rd element of the
tuple returned by __reduce__:
----
Optionally, the object’s state, which will be passed to the object’s
__setstate__() method as previously described. If the object has no such method
then, the value must be a dictionary and it will be added to the object’s
__dict__ attribute.
----
This doesn't seem correct to me. It should instead read:
----
Optionally, the object’s state, which will be passed to the object’s
__setstate__() method as previously described. If the object has no such
method, then the value must be:
- for objects with only __dict__, a dictionary which will be used to update the
object’s __dict__ attribute.
- for objects with only __slots__, a tuple of (None, {<__slots__ key>: <value>,
...})
- for objects with both __dict__ and __slots__, a tuple of ({<__dict__ key>:
<value>, ...}, {<__slots__ key>: <value>, ...})
