You say that as though there were a difference between the two. There isn't. An object is just a dictionary of values. If you set an object member to a string, then that object's dictionary for that member name contains a string. It doesn't contain some alternative packed binary representation of a string. >Say I have a large object that requires a lot of time to train on data.

If your training creates computed data in other members, those members and their values should also be saved in the pickle. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
