From: Andrew Barnert How often have you needed either cyclic references or the ability to dynamically store arbitrary classes in something like a cookie or a cache file?
In a past life I used pickle regularly to snapshot long-running (evolutionary) algorithms that used user-provided classes and all sorts of highly improper circular references. And there are plenty of researchers out there using Python for much crazier things than I ever did. There is a lot more to Python than web apps... Steve
