Hello, I've now pushed Alexandre's implementation, and the PEP is marked final. Regards Antoine. On Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:15:26 +0100 Antoine Pitrou <solipsis@pitrou.net> wrote:
Hello,
Alexandre Vassalotti (thanks a lot!) has recently finalized his work on the PEP 3154 implementation - pickle protocol 4.
I think it would be good to get the PEP and the implementation accepted for 3.4. As far as I can say, this has been a low-controvery proposal, and it brings fairly obvious improvements to the table (which table?). I still need some kind of BDFL or BDFL delegate to do that, though -- unless I am allowed to mark my own PEP accepted :-)
(I've asked Tim, specifically, for comments, since he contributed a lot to previous versions of the pickle protocol.)
The PEP is at http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3154/ (should be rebuilt soon by the server, I'd say)
Alexandre's implementation is tracked at http://bugs.python.org/issue17810
Regards
Antoine.
