:mod:`copyreg` --- Register :mod:`pickle` support functions
|
|
===========================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: copyreg
|
|
:synopsis: Register pickle support functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. index::
|
|
module: pickle
|
|
module: cPickle
|
|
module: copy
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`copyreg` module provides support for the :mod:`pickle` and
|
|
:mod:`cPickle` modules. The :mod:`copy` module is likely to use this in the
|
|
future as well. It 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=None)
|
|
|
|
Declares that *function* should be used as a "reduction" function for objects
|
|
of type *type*. *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*.
