-
- About Dill
- ==========
-
- ``dill`` extends python's ``pickle`` module for serializing and de-serializing
- python objects to the majority of the built-in python types. Serialization
- is the process of converting an object to a byte stream, and the inverse
- of which is converting a byte stream back to on python object hierarchy.
-
- ``dill`` provides the user the same interface as the ``pickle`` module, and
- also includes some additional features. In addition to pickling python
- objects, ``dill`` provides the ability to save the state of an interpreter
- session in a single command. Hence, it would be feasable to save a
- interpreter session, close the interpreter, ship the pickled file to
- another computer, open a new interpreter, unpickle the session and
- thus continue from the 'saved' state of the original interpreter
- session.
-
- ``dill`` can be used to store python objects to a file, but the primary
- usage is to send python objects across the network as a byte stream.
- ``dill`` is quite flexible, and allows arbitrary user defined classes
- and functions to be serialized. Thus ``dill`` is not intended to be
- secure against erroneously or maliciously constructed data. It is
- left to the user to decide whether the data they unpickle is from
- a trustworthy source.
-
- ``dill`` is part of ``pathos``, a python framework for heterogeneous computing.
- ``dill`` is in active development, so any user feedback, bug reports, comments,
- or suggestions are highly appreciated. A list of known issues is maintained
- at http://trac.mystic.cacr.caltech.edu/project/pathos/query.html, with a public
- ticket list at https://github.com/uqfoundation/dill/issues.
-
-
- Major Features
- ==============
-
- ``dill`` can pickle the following standard types:
-
- - none, type, bool, int, long, float, complex, str, unicode,
- - tuple, list, dict, file, buffer, builtin,
- - both old and new style classes,
- - instances of old and new style classes,
- - set, frozenset, array, functions, exceptions
-
- ``dill`` can also pickle more 'exotic' standard types:
-
- - functions with yields, nested functions, lambdas,
- - cell, method, unboundmethod, module, code, methodwrapper,
- - dictproxy, methoddescriptor, getsetdescriptor, memberdescriptor,
- - wrapperdescriptor, xrange, slice,
- - notimplemented, ellipsis, quit
-
- ``dill`` cannot yet pickle these standard types:
-
- - frame, generator, traceback
-
- ``dill`` also provides the capability to:
-
- - save and load python interpreter sessions
- - save and extract the source code from functions and classes
- - interactively diagnose pickling errors
-
-
- Current Release

-
- Installation
- ============
-
- ``dill`` is packaged to install from source, so you must
- download the tarball, unzip, and run the installer::
-
- [download]
- $ tar -xvzf dill-0.2.8.2.tar.gz
- $ cd dill-0.2.8.2
- $ python setup py build
- $ python setup py install
-
- You will be warned of any missing dependencies and/or settings
- after you run the "build" step above.
-
- Alternately, ``dill`` can be installed with ``pip`` or ``easy_install``::
-
- $ pip install dill
-
-
- Requirements
- ============
-
- ``dill`` requires:
-
- - ``python``, **version >= 2.5** or **version >= 3.1**, or ``pypy``
- - ``pyreadline``, **version >= 1.7.1** (on windows)
-
- Optional requirements:
-
- - ``setuptools``, **version >= 0.6**
- - ``objgraph``, **version >= 1.7.2**
-
-
- More Information
- ================
-
- Probably the best way to get started is to look at the documentation at
- http://dill.rtfd.io. Also see ``dill.tests`` for a set of scripts that
- demonstrate how ``dill`` can serialize different python objects. You can
- run the test suite with ``python -m dill.tests``. The contents of any
- pickle file can be examined with ``undill``. As ``dill`` conforms to
- the ``pickle`` interface, the examples and documentation found at
- http://docs.python.org/library/pickle.html also apply to ``dill``
- if one will ``import dill as pickle``. The source code is also generally
- well documented, so further questions may be resolved by inspecting the
- code itself. Please feel free to submit a ticket on github, or ask a
- question on stackoverflow (**@Mike McKerns**).
- If you would like to share how you use ``dill`` in your work, please send
- an email (to **mmckerns at uqfoundation dot org**).
