>Category: Python Library >Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jayson Vantuyl (jaysonvantuyl) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Make Generators Pickle-able Initial Comment: Would it be possible to make generators pickle-able? I mean, currently the internal state is saved in some way. Would it be possible to make pickle handle them? Put another way, if generators had a __getnewargs__ function that returned some data (say a tuple of module name, function name, locals/globals dicts and some code dependent location data) and then allow: generator.__new__(statedata) to reconstruct it (or something more elegant). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.

Pickle has traditionally abstained from pickling functions, so IMO it should not picke generators, either. If this was enabled by default, it would open up yet another security hole. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1092962&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
