we may as well say that the required result takes the form of an iterable of the nodes, which may subsequently be iterated by a consumer.
In general you need more than that, I think. If you're printing a representation of the graph, you want to know about the structure, not just get a flat list of nodes.
But we must have to do something very similar to pickle arbitrary (potentially cyclic) structures, which is likewise dependent on special help from the particular built-in type. Can something be founded on |||__getstate__| ?
I don't think so. All the logic for dealing with cycles is buried inside pickle -- __getstate__ just gets info about one object. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/3FMDYC76POOMNJ4OZUOJ2U3KCEMTGPII/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
