Dear Oscar,

Thank you.

On the upside, this shows that sympy has a robust user base -- the bug was picked up just 20 days ago and here I am stumbling on it independently.

On the downside, this makes it hard to work on a calculation which requires large numbers of CPU hours and needs to be checkpointed and saved.

Do you know of any workarounds? Or is there an alternative to pickle.save() and pickle.load() for this, which works well with sympy? The only reason I am using pickle is because it is what popped up when I googled 'save python data'.

I suppose I would just let it run, and use hibernate rather than shutdown to switch off - then when you restart the machine the process will continue where it left off. That certainly works well under Windows (for calculations of any sort, partially watched videos, etc).

I have the feeling that adding extra steps like pickling is an invitation for something to go wrong!

David
