How to unpickle into objects?

[Dan Bar Dov]

I am pickling a dictionary of objects.

After I unpickle, what I get looks like:

{u'books': {u'The Folk Of The Fringe': {u'py/object': u'__main__.book', u'name': u'The Folk Of The Fringe', u'read': u'0', u'notes': u'', u'grade': u'\n', u'purchased': u'1/6/1996 0:00:00', u'authors': [u'Card Orson Scott'], u'id': 275}, 

u'Ghost': {u'py/object': u'__main__.book', u'name': u'Ghost', u'read': u'1', u'notes': u'', u'grade': u'\n', u'purchased': u'1/6/1996 0:00:00', u'authors': [u'Anthony Piers'], u'id': 276}, 

u'Rocheworld': {u'py/object': u'__main__.book', u'name': u'Rocheworld', u'read': u'1', u'notes': u'', u'grade': u'"5"\n', u'purchased': u'1/6/1996 0:00:00', u'authors': [u'Forward Robert L.'], u'id': 274}, 

u'All Flesh Is Grass': {u'py/object': u'__main__.book', u'name': u'All Flesh Is Grass', u'read': u'0', u'notes': u'', u'grade': u'\n', u'purchased': u'1/6/1996 0:00:00', u'authors': [u'Simak Clifford D.'], u'id': 277}}}

The unpickling does not generate instantiated objects. 

Is it supposed to? or am I missing something.

If I have to instantiate the objects myself, what good is the "object info" in the pickled stream? I know what the data is anyway?

Thanks,

Dan

Herein lies the problem.
Move 'class book' into a separate, importable module that's not part
of the main script.

I hope that helps,

Hi David,

I am having the same problem but I have the classes defined in the separate module. I am just starting my python coding so please excuse me if it is a stupid question. 

Here is the code:

    object1 = dbtest.SubSubDBObject("object1", 1, 1.0, date.today())

    object2 = dbtest.SubDBObject ("object2", 2, 2.0, date.today() + datetime.timedelta(days=1), object1)

    object2.printAll()

    pickled = jsonpickle.encode(object2) 

    print pickled

    object3 = jsonpickle.decode(pickled)

    print(object3)

Here the output I get:

('object1', 1, 1.0, datetime.date(2013, 5, 29))

('object2', 2, 2.0)

2013-05-30

{"py/object": "dbtest.SubDBObject", "testSubObject": {"py/object": "dbtest.SubSubDBObject", "testDate": {"py/object": "datetime.date", "__reduce__": [{"py/type": "datetime.date"}, ["B90FHQ==\n"]]}, "testFloat": 1.0, "testString": "object1", "testInt": 1}, "testString": "object2", "testInt": 2, "testDate": {"py/object": "datetime.date", "__reduce__": [{"py/type": "datetime.date"}, ["B90FHg==\n"]]}, "testFloat": 2.0}

{u'py/object': u'dbtest.SubDBObject', u'testSubObject': {u'py/object': u'dbtest.SubSubDBObject', u'testDate': {u'py/object': u'datetime.date', u'__reduce__': [{u'py/type': u'datetime.date'}, [u'B90FHQ==\n']]}, u'testFloat': 1.0, u'testString': u'object1', u'testInt': 1}, u'testString': u'object2', u'testDate': {u'py/object': u'datetime.date', u'__reduce__': [{u'py/type': u'datetime.date'}, [u'B90FHg==\n']]}, u'testInt': 2, u'testFloat': 2.0}

I am using python 2.7.3 and fresh jsonpickle from github.

Thanks a lot,
Victor

Nevermind, figured it out.

Your objects have to inherit from "object", that solved the problem

Cheers,

Victor

Ah, I'm glad that worked for you. Sorry I hadn't responded earlier
(very busy over here).

I'll create an issue to "update the docs to mention that you must
inherit from object" so that this is more obvious.

cheers,
David
