Despite the now well-known security limitations of pickle, it is still used as a simple way (from the user PoV) to exchange arbitrary Python objects (see e.g. https://joblib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/persistence.html). Such objects can sometimes include Paths as attributes, and it seems unfortunate that the presence of a Path makes the entire object (which may include many more things than just the Path) impossible to unpickle on a different OS (especially if unpickling into a PurePath keeps all the functionality that makes sense on that other OS). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue27175> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
