Or you may have this done automatically by hacking the Set class: from sets import Set import cPickle as pickle Set.__reduce__ = lambda self: (set, (self._data,)) s = Set([1,2,3]) x = pickle.dumps(s) print pickle.loads(x) This doesn't work though if you have already pickled the Set before replacing its __reduce__, so it may not necessarily be what you want. If there is a way around it, I'd like to know it. George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
