Pickle problem : Can't pickle 'SRE_Match' object:

[IceMan85]

Hi to all, I have spent the whole morning trying, with no success to pickle an object that I have created.

The error that I get is : Can't pickle 'SRE_Match' object: <_sre.SRE_Mat ch object at 0x2a969c0ad0>

the complete stack is the following :

PicklingError: Can't pickle 'SRE_Match' object: <_sre.SRE_Mat ch object at 0x2a969c0ad0>



Is there anybody that can help me please ?
Thanks in advance, Amar.

I have the answer, it's all due to nested classes ! I have several nested classes and this is the reason why I am NOT able to pickle !
