-# persist.py
-#
-# Implement limited persistence.
-#
-# Simple interface:
-# persist.save() save __main__ module on file (overwrite)
-# persist.load() load __main__ module from file (merge)
-#
-# These use the filename persist.defaultfile, initialized to 'wsrestore.py'.
-#
-# A raw interface also exists:
-# persist.writedict(dict, fp) save dictionary to open file
-# persist.readdict(dict, fp) read (merge) dictionary from open file
-#
-# Internally, the function dump() and a whole bunch of support of functions
-# traverse a graph of objects and print them in a restorable form
-# (which happens to be a Python module).
-#
-# XXX Limitations:
-# - Volatile objects are dumped as strings:
-# - open files, windows etc.
-# - Other 'obscure' objects are dumped as strings:
-# - classes, instances and methods
-# - compiled regular expressions
-# - anything else reasonably obscure (e.g., capabilities)
-# - type objects for obscure objects
-# - It's slow when there are many of lists or dictionaries
-# (This could be fixed if there were a quick way to compute a hash
-# function of any object, even if recursive)
