You get a list instance. So, at least without any additional work it does not round trip symmetrically. But IMO this is actually the expected result; subclasses of string should serialize like strings, subclasses of list like lists etc. And when you unserialize those without any additional magic, you get the builtin types, not the subclasses. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue469972> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
