This package backports all features and APIs added in the pickle
module
in Python 3.8.3, including the
PEP 574 additions. It should
work with Python 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.
Basic usage is similar to the pickle
module, except that the module
to be imported is pickle5
:
import pickle5 as pickle
pb = pickle.PickleBuffer(b"foo")
data = pickle.dumps(pb, protocol=5)
assert pickle.loads(data) == b"foo"
Detailed documentation can be found in PEP 574 and the standard pickle documentation.
