You could send pickled versions of each of the object's attributes, rather than the whole object. Then simply have a notation for "same as before", and you are sending the delta of attributes. If your set of important attributes is stable, this could be quite efficient. OTOH, this won't help if your attributes are complex structures for which you want to send detailed diffs, that won't work. Another way would be to pickle the object, and then use any string diff utility to find the significant portions. I don't know whether pickle is guaranteed to be stable on dictionaries, though; you might get a lot of "diff noise". ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
