I'm working on a website for a game, the engine of which involves a heirarchy of custom classes. I need to find some way to store the gamestate between sessions, so that logged-in users can pick up a game from one of their associated characters from where they last saved.
My original idea was to pickle the game engine and store it in a text or blob field in my db.characters table, so that each character would have their associated gamestate stored in the same table. However, when trying a text field, the pickled object wasn't escaped correctly so it threw an SQLite error; using a binary pickle stored in a blob field, it threw a "<class> is not the same as object" PicklingError. Are there ways to get around either of these errors? Or is there some other way I should be storing the game sessions? There are enough variables and nested objects that storing them in individual fields of a table would be a real pain; I thought about trying to integrate ZODB, but I have no idea if web2py plays nice with object databases. Any suggestions?
