Hello Pythoners,
I am experiencing a strange result with the pickle module when using it to
write certain results to a separate file.
In short, I have a program that reads a file, finds lines which satisfy
some criteria, and extracts those lines, storing them in a list. I am
trying to write this list to a separate file.
The list of extracted lines looks like this:
ATOM 1 N GLN A 1 29.872 13.384 54.754 1.00 60.40
N
ATOM 2 CA GLN A 1 29.809 11.972 54.274 1.00 58.51
C
ATOM 3 C GLN A 1 28.376 11.536 54.029 1.00 55.13
C
The output stored from the call to the pickle.dump method, however, looks
like this:
(lp0
S'ATOM 1 N GLN A 1 29.872 13.384 54.754 1.00 60.40
N \r\n'
p1
aS'ATOM 2 CA GLN A 1 29.809 11.972 54.274 1.00 58.51
C \r\n'
p2
aS'ATOM 3 C GLN A 1 28.376 11.536 54.029 1.00 55.13
C \r\n'
The code I am using to write the output to an external file goes as follows:
def export_antibody_chains():
''' EXPORT LIST OF EXTRACTED CHAINS TO FILE '''
chains_file = open(query + '_Chains', 'wb')
pickle.dump(ab_chains, chains_file) # ab_chains is global
chains_file.close()
return
Does anyone know why the strings lp0, S', aS' are showing up?
