From 04d92c37f20fbf1ef4d7a862715ba3eb57e684b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fred Drake Date: Wed, 5 May 2004 04:24:30 +0000 Subject: Remove list of pickle protocol names used by the copy module; there are enough subtleties to pickling that we don't want misunderstanding to spread because we don't provide all the information twice. The reference to the pickle module for information will have to suffice; at least only one portion of the docs will be out of date. ;-( --- Doc/lib/libcopy.tex | 6 +----- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/lib/libcopy.tex b/Doc/lib/libcopy.tex index f931c02..d73d6fd 100644 --- a/Doc/lib/libcopy.tex +++ b/Doc/lib/libcopy.tex @@ -72,14 +72,10 @@ stack trace, stack frame, file, socket, window, array, or any similar types.
