I think we will still need to maintain _utc global indefinitely to keep the old pickles readable. On the other hand, it looks like support for qualnames is only available with pickle protocol 4, so I don't see any downside from from storing the full qualname other than an 8-byte increase in the size of the pickle. I guess my position on this will be +0: I'll accept a patch if someone will submit it, but I am unlikely to do it myself. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9051> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
