New submission from sbt <shibt...@gmail.com>: The attached patch makes pickle use an object's __qualname__ attribute if __name__ does not work.
This makes nested classes, unbound instance methods and static methods picklable (assuming that __module__ and __qualname__ give the correct "address"). BTW, It would not be hard to make instance methods picklable (and, as a by-product, class methods) by giving instance methods a __reduce__ method equivalent to def __reduce__(self): return (getattr, (self.__self__, self.__name__)) Is there any reason not to make such a change? ---------- files: pickle_qualname.patch keywords: patch messages: 148759 nosy: pitrou, sbt priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Patch to make pickle aware of __qualname__ versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23836/pickle_qualname.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13520> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
