Alexandre Vassalotti <alexan...@peadrop.com> added the comment: I know believe that arrays should be pickled as a list of values on Python 2.x. Doing otherwise makes it impossible to unpickle arrays coming from Python 2.x using Python 3.x, since pickle on Python 3 decodes all the strings from 2.x to Unicode.
However, we still can use the compact memory representation on Python 3.x. So, I propose that we change the array module on Python 2.x to emit a list instead of memory string and implement the portable array pickling mechanism only on Python 3.x. ---------- versions: +Python 3.2 -Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14461/portable_array_pickling-2.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2389> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
