Hi, When I try to run the following code:
///// from collections import Counter, OrderedDict class OrderedCounter(Counter, OrderedDict): 'Counter that remembers the order elements are first seen' def __repr__(self): return '%s(%r)' % (self.__class__.__name__, OrderedDict(self)) def __reduce__(self): return self.__class__, (OrderedDict(self),) oc = OrderedCounter('abracadabra') ----- I don't know the use of '__reduce__', even I look it up on Python website. On that website, it explains 'pickle' module: https://docs.python.org/2/library/pickle.html But the above example without import that module. Is it from built-in? Anyhow, I don't find a built-in explanation about '__reduce__'. What use of the above two new self methods are in class OrderedCounter? Thanks, -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
