[Gambas-user] pickle?

[Peter Tyler]

O.k. sometimes I'm on the road - and it takes me a while to get back to gambas.

Ideally I just want to write a class, which is all strings, to a file and read it back in.

I saw in one of the posts that there may be a way to do this, but there wasn't any detail... 
Can any one explain further?


FYI   Pickle explained (sortof):
----- snip ------
"Rather than have users be constantly writing and debugging code to
save complicated data types, Python provides a standard module called ‘pickle’.  This is an
amazing module that can take almost
any Python object (even some forms of Python code!), and convert it to
a string representation; this process is called pickling.  
Reconstructing the object from the string representation is called unpickling.  Between pickling and unpickling, the string
representing the object may have been stored in a file or data, or
sent over a network connection to some distant machine. "

Thanks in advance 
  a gambas newbie :)
  Peter.

Benoit used to talk about object persistence/serialization as a 3.0 
feature, but I don't know the status of that yet.  As Steven posted, you 
can always just write data types to a file directly, but to write them in a 
semi-human-readable format like pickle does would probably need its own 
component or module.

Parsing existing pickle data would probably not be that hard; I've done it 
in Perl on a number of occasions.
