Save/Store whole class (or another object) in a file

[alexLIGO@googlemail.com]

Hi,

is it possible in python (with/without matplotlib, numpy etc) to store
a whole class with its data into a file, instead it to reconstruct
every time again? So is there an analogous to the matlab functions
load/save available?

Thanks
Alex

look up the pickle module.

Check out the pickle module.

Re: Save/Store whole class (or another object) in a file

Hi,

thanks for the reply,but unfortunately this does not work with the type
of classes I am dealing with. When trying to pickle the class I get the
following error:

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/copy_reg.py", line 76, in _reduce_ex
raise TypeError("a class that defines __slots__ without "
TypeError: a class that defines __slots__ without defining __getstate__
cannot be pickled

So there is something missing in this class? Or any other idea how to
do this?

Alex

yes, read the documentation:

http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/pickle-inst.html

of course I read the error-message, I understand the error-message, BUT
this message is not telling me how anyway to save the data of such a
class in a file! It does not tell me, that there is absolutely no way
to do that. Maybe there is, maybe there is not.
Thats why I am posting it here!

"A man who wears a hat without buying a ticket cannot enter the theatre"
You wear a hat, you want to enter: either buy your ticket or forget
about your hat.
In this case, just define a __getstate__ method (read the pickle
docs), or forget about __slots__.
