[Fedora-suds-list] Pseudo-pickling

Hi list, I had an issue today where I needed to pickle a suds object. This is clearly not possible using pickle by itself, and I couldn't get copy_reg to dance either. In the end, I ended up writing: from suds.sudsobject import asdict, Object def suds_pickle(sobject): begin = asdict(sobject) for key, value in begin.iteritems(): if isinstance(value, Object): begin[key] = suds_pickle(value) return begin def suds_unpickle(fact, klass, dct): inst = fact.create(klass) def fill(dct, pnt): for key, value in dct.iteritems(): if isinstance(value, dict): fill(value, getattr(pnt, key)) else: setattr(pnt, key, value) fill(dct, inst) return inst Maybe someone will find it useful. suds_pickle returns a dict'ed version of an object recursively, and suds_unpickle takes 3 args: a factory, instance name and the dictionary from before. It worked well enough for my purpose, but may need some improvement for larger things. HTH, Jesper Noehr
