I've written a simple module which serializes these python types: IntType, TupleType, StringType, FloatType, LongType, ListType, DictType
It available for perusal here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/415503 It appears to work faster than pickle, however, the decode process is much slower (5x) than the encode process. Has anyone got any tips on ways I might speed this up? Sw. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
