pickling, saving and loading

[Gordon]

Once the user has loaded up the matroids9 array, they may want to save it for future usage.

By experimenting I have discovered that

save(matroids9, "matroids9")

and then

matroids9 = load("matroids9.sobj")

will successfully save and reload the object.


However when I search for "save objects in Python", then I get a mountain of pages about pickling and using pickle.dump() etc.

Is pickling being automagically done for me by the Matroid class?

Hi Gordon,

Is pickling being automagically done for me by the Matroid class?

It's being done automagically by the subclasses (like BasisMatroid), in particular in the "__reduce__" method. You're welcome ;)

Cheers,
