Hi, I currently trying to clean up the interface of the pickle module for Python 3K. So far, I haven't done much, except documenting parts the pickle stream format.
There's still one thing I still don't understand about pickle, persistent_id. I haven't found any useful use-cases for it. Using Google's code search, only Zope (or variant of) seems to have found some obscure way to use it. (Is there a Python feature Zope doesn't use? <wink>) Personally, I think persistent_id is just a remnant of the older protocol, which didn't memoize object. So, would it be okay to remove it from the next version of the protocol? -- Alexandre _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
