Pickle is *the* canonical extensible object serialization system for Python. It’s of course very extensible in that users can define how objects pickle, eg by defining a dunder reduce method. As such they can of course make that method store output in any binary format they want. Example: look at some of the cython matrix code I mentioned above. I hope it is architecture neutral as written, but I’m sure you could easily imagine how to write something similar that isn’t. - William > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- -- William Stein -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
