:mod:`copy_reg` --- Register :mod:`pickle` support functions
|
|
============================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: copy_reg
|
|
:synopsis: Register pickle support functions.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The :mod:`copy_reg` module has been renamed to :mod:`copyreg` in Python 3.
|
|
The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your
|
|
sources to Python 3.
|
|
|
|
.. index::
|
|
module: pickle
|
|
module: cPickle
|
|
module: copy
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`copy_reg` module offers a way to define functions used while pickling
|
|
specific objects. The :mod:`pickle`, :mod:`cPickle`, and :mod:`copy` modules
|
|
use those functions when pickling/copying those objects. The module provides
|
|
configuration information about object constructors which are not classes.
|
|
Such constructors may be factory functions or class instances.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: constructor(object)
|
|
|
|
Declares *object* to be a valid constructor. If *object* is not callable (and
|
|
hence not valid as a constructor), raises :exc:`TypeError`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: pickle(type, function[, constructor])
|
|
|
|
Declares that *function* should be used as a "reduction" function for objects of
|
|
type *type*; *type* must not be a "classic" class object. (Classic classes are
|
|
handled differently; see the documentation for the :mod:`pickle` module for
|
|
details.) *function* should return either a string or a tuple containing two or
|
|
three elements.
|
|
|
|
The optional *constructor* parameter, if provided, is a callable object which
|
|
can be used to reconstruct the object when called with the tuple of arguments
|
|
returned by *function* at pickling time. :exc:`TypeError` will be raised if
|
|
*object* is a class or *constructor* is not callable.
|
|
|
|
See the :mod:`pickle` module for more details on the interface expected of
|
|
*function* and *constructor*.

Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The example below would like to show how to register a pickle function and how
|
|
it will be used:
|
|
|
|
>>> import copy_reg, copy, pickle
|
|
>>> class C(object):
|
|
... def __init__(self, a):
|
|
... self.a = a
|
|
...
|
|
>>> def pickle_c(c):
|
|
... print("pickling a C instance...")
|
|
... return C, (c.a,)
|
|
...
|
|
>>> copy_reg.pickle(C, pickle_c)
|
|
>>> c = C(1)
|
|
>>> d = copy.copy(c)
|
|
pickling a C instance...
|
|
>>> p = pickle.dumps(c)
|
|
pickling a C instance...
