python开发--pickle

转载自http://www.cnblogs.com/hongten/p/hongten_python_pickle.html

pickle模块使用的数据格式是python专用的，并且不同版本不向后兼容，同时也不能被其他语言说识别。要和其他语言交互，可以使用内置的json包使用pickle模块你可以把Python对象直接保存到文件，而不需要把他们转化为字符串，也不用底层的文件访问操作把它们写入到一个二进制文件里。 pickle模块会创建一个python语言专用的二进制格式，你基本上不用考虑任何文件细节，它会帮你干净利落地完成读写独享操作，唯一需要的只是一个合法的文件句柄。
        pickle模块中的两个主要函数是dump()和load()。dump()函数接受一个文件句柄和一个数据对象作为参数，把数据对象以特定的格式保存到给定的文件中。当我们使用load()函数从文件中取出已保存的对象时，pickle知道如何恢复这些对象到它们本来的格式。
        dumps()函数执行和dump() 函数相同的序列化。取代接受流对象并将序列化后的数据保存到磁盘文件，这个函数简单的返回序列化的数据。
        loads()函数执行和load() 函数一样的反序列化。取代接受一个流对象并去文件读取序列化后的数据，它接受包含序列化后的数据的str对象, 直接返回的对象。
        cPickle是pickle得一个更快得C语言编译版本。
        pickle和cPickle相当于java的序列化和反序列化操作

下面是python的API中的Example：

# Simple example presenting how persistent ID can be used to pickle
# external objects by reference.

import pickle
import sqlite3
from collections import namedtuple

# Simple class representing a record in our database.
MemoRecord = namedtuple("MemoRecord", "key, task")

class DBPickler(pickle.Pickler):

    def persistent_id(self, obj):
        # Instead of pickling MemoRecord as a regular class instance, we emit a
        # persistent ID.
        if isinstance(obj, MemoRecord):
            # Here, our persistent ID is simply a tuple, containing a tag and a
            # key, which refers to a specific record in the database.
            return ("MemoRecord", obj.key)
        else:
            # If obj does not have a persistent ID, return None. This means obj
            # needs to be pickled as usual.
            return None


class DBUnpickler(pickle.Unpickler):

    def __init__(self, file, connection):
        super().__init__(file)
        self.connection = connection

    def persistent_load(self, pid):
        # This method is invoked whenever a persistent ID is encountered.
        # Here, pid is the tuple returned by DBPickler.
        cursor = self.connection.cursor()
        type_tag, key_id = pid
        if type_tag == "MemoRecord":
            # Fetch the referenced record from the database and return it.
            cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM memos WHERE key=?", (str(key_id),))
            key, task = cursor.fetchone()
            return MemoRecord(key, task)
        else:
            # Always raises an error if you cannot return the correct object.
            # Otherwise, the unpickler will think None is the object referenced
            # by the persistent ID.
            raise pickle.UnpicklingError("unsupported persistent object")


def main():
    import io
    import pprint

    # Initialize and populate our database.
    conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE memos(key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, task TEXT)")
    tasks = (
        'give food to fish',
        'prepare group meeting',
        'fight with a zebra',
        )
    for task in tasks:
        cursor.execute("INSERT INTO memos VALUES(NULL, ?)", (task,))

    # Fetch the records to be pickled.
    cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM memos")
    memos = [MemoRecord(key, task) for key, task in cursor]
    # Save the records using our custom DBPickler.
    file = io.BytesIO()
    DBPickler(file).dump(memos)

    print("Pickled records:")
    pprint.pprint(memos)

    # Update a record, just for good measure.
    cursor.execute("UPDATE memos SET task='learn italian' WHERE key=1")

    # Load the records from the pickle data stream.
    file.seek(0)
    memos = DBUnpickler(file, conn).load()

    print("Unpickled records:")
    pprint.pprint(memos)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
