`pickle`¶

Create portable serialized representations of Python objects.

See module cPickle for a (much) faster implementation. See module copy_reg for a mechanism for registering custom picklers. See module pickletools source for extensive comments.

Classes:

Pickler Unpickler

Functions:

dump(object, file) dumps(object) -> string load(file) -> object loads(string) -> object

Misc variables:

__version__ format_version compatible_formats

Functions¶

`StringIO`	StringIO([s]) – Return a StringIO-like stream for reading or writing
`decode_long`(data)	Decode a long from a two’s complement little-endian binary string.
`dump`(obj, file[, protocol])
`dumps`(obj[, protocol])
`encode_long`(x)	Encode a long to a two’s complement little-endian binary string.
`load`(file)
`loads`(str)
`mloads`(string)	Convert the string to a value.
`whichmodule`(func, funcname)	Figure out the module in which a function occurs.
