Alexandre Vassalotti <alexan...@peadrop.com> added the comment: Ah, I just remembered the smart way I had devised some time ago to handle this issue without changing the constructor of array.array. The trick would be to add a __reduce__ method to array.array. This method would return a special constructor function, the binary data of the array and a string representing the format of the array. Upon unpickling, the special constructor function would be called with the binary data and its format and then it would recreate the array.
Now, the only thing I am not sure about is whether this would work well with subclasses of array.array. I guess we make __reduce__ also return the instance's type which could be used by special constructor to recreate the instance from the proper subclass. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2389> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
