Hello everyone, I started to use pickle to store the latest user settings for the tool I wrote. It writes out a pickled text file when it terminates and it restores the settings when it starts.
It worked very nicely. However, I got a ValueError when I started the tool from Unix when I previously used the tool from Windows. File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/pickle.py", line 980, in load_string raise ValueError, "insecure string pickle" ValueError: insecure string pickle If I do 'dos2unix <my.cfg> <my.cfg>' to convert the file, then everything becomes fine. I found in the Python release note saying ... "pickle: Now raises ValueError when an invalid pickle that contains a non-string repr where a string repr was expected. This behavior matches cPickle." I guess DOS text format is creating this problem. My question is "Is there any elegant way to deal with this?". I certainly can catch ValueError and run 'dos2unix' explicitly. But I don't like such crude solution. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Best regards, Aki Niimura -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
