The following is an example of how you might write and read a pickle file Note that if you keep appending pickle data to the file, you will need to continue reading from the file until you find what you want or an exception is generated by reaching the end of the file That is what the last function does. It seems you want to save your class instances across sessions, and using pickle is a decent way to do this However, there's a package called klepto that abstracts the saving of objects to a dictionary interface, so you can choose to pickle objects and save them to a file (as shown below), or pickle the objects and save them to a database, or. Pickle is unsafe because it constructs arbitrary python objects by invoking arbitrary functions
There used to be cpickle in python2.7 However, i don't see it anymore in python3 pickle What ever happened to that module, did it get merged into the regular pickle module? I have looked through the information that the python documentation for pickle gives, but i'm still a little confused What would be some sample code that would write a new file and then use pickle. What makes you think that two appended pickle streams will somehow be magically accepted as one new object
31 it is very likely that the pickled file is empty It is surprisingly easy to overwrite a pickle file if you're copying and pasting code For example the following writes a pickle file: Pickle.dump(d, pfile, protocol=pickle.highest_protocol) pickle.highest_protocol will always be the right version for the current python version Because this is a binary format, make sure to use 'wb' as the file mode Python 3 no longer distinguishes between cpickle and pickle, always use pickle when using python 3.
