New submission from Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com>:
>From the pickle.Pickler docstring: > The optional *protocol* argument tells the pickler to use the given > protocol; supported protocols are 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. The default > protocol is 3; a backward-incompatible protocol designed for Python 3. That's out of date since Python 3.8, where the default protocol is 4 and the highest available is 5. For future-proofing, it may be worth rewording the docstring to refer directly to the DEFAULT_PROTOCOL and HIGHEST_PROTOCOL constants. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 360497 nosy: docs@python, mark.dickinson, pitrou priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Pickler docstring misstates default and highest protocols versions: Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39426> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
