Hello,<br>
<br>
This PEP is an attempt to foster a number of small incremental<br>
improvements in a future pickle protocol version. The PEP process is<br>
used in order to gather as many improvements as possible, because the<br>
introduction of a new protocol version should be a rare occurrence.<br>
<br>
Feel free to suggest any additions.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Your propositions sound all good to me. We will need to agree about the details, but I believe these improvements to the current protocol will be appreciated.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, one thing keeps coming back is the need for pickling functions and methods which are not part of the global namespace (e.g. <a href="http://bugs.python.org/issue9276" target="_blank">issue 9276</a>). Support for this would likely help us fixing another related namespace issue (i.e., <a href="http://bugs.python.org/issue3657%C2%A0" target="_blank">issue 3657</a>). Finally, we currently missing support for pickling classes with __new__ taking keyword-only arguments (i.e. <a href="http://bugs.python.org/issue4727">issue 4727</a>).</div>
