Hello, I'm new to python and i'm deelopping a small game with pygame. I got lot of fun with python.
Trying to implement a config file to save user score and config. Reading doc and some tutorial about file handling i read about pickle, and yes it's very easy to implement. But i thought i miss something with the roots of python. I implement a Prefs class to handle config data and add it a load and save method. It works but when reading self, it OK inside the load function but outside the pref instance return to it's previus state... I don't really understand. Here's the test code : #!/usr/bin/env python import os, pickle kFileName='test.ini' class Prefs(): def __init__(self): self.test=1 self.zorglub='bonjour' def load(self): if os.path.exists(kFileName): try: print 'test %d (before)' % self.test f=open(kFileName,'r') self=pickle.load(f) f.close() print 'test %d (after)' % self.test except IOError: return 1 return 0 def save(self): f=open(kFileName,'w') pickle.dump(self,f) f.close() return 0 def main(): p=Prefs() p.load() print 'test %d (after load)' % p.test p.test+=1 print 'test %d (before save)' % p.test p.save() print '----------------------' if __name__ == '__main__': main() -- Pierre-Alain Dorange Vidéo, DV et QuickTime <http://www.garage-video.com/> Clarus, the DogCow <http://clarus.chez.tiscali.fr/> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
