Hi,
I never used this function, but I think you have a good point here. It
couldn’t find any documentation regarding this .spydata file format, and it
might as well be described how to use it using both the GUI and a script
(maybe a public spyder function of some sort can be used/created for
this?). This is what I figured out: it is tarfile containing some (only 1?)
pickled python dictionary containing the workspace variables.
As a small example, this is how you can load a *.spydata file (based on
load_dictionary() in spyderlib/utils/iofuncs.py):
# a naive and incomplete demonstration on how to read a *.spydata file
import pickle import tarfile # open a .spydata file filename =
'test.spydata' tar = tarfile.open(filename, "r") # extract all pickled
files to the current working directory tar.extractall() extracted_files =
tar.getnames() for f in extracted_files: if f.endswith('.pickle'): withopen(f,
'rb') as fdesc: data = pickle.loads(fdesc.read()) # or use the spyder
function directly: from spyderlib.utils.iofuncs import load_dictionary
data_dict = load_dictionary(filename)
I went ahead and created an issue for this here:
