:mod:`copy_reg` --- Register :mod:`pickle` support functions
============================================================
.. module:: copy_reg
:synopsis: Register pickle support functions.
.. note::
The :mod:`copy_reg` module has been renamed to :mod:`copyreg` in Python 3.
The :term:`2to3` tool will automatically adapt imports when converting your
sources to Python 3.
.. index::
module: pickle
module: cPickle
module: copy
The :mod:`copy_reg` module offers a way to define functions used while pickling
specific objects. The :mod:`pickle`, :mod:`cPickle`, and :mod:`copy` modules
use those functions when pickling/copying those objects. The module provides
configuration information about object constructors which are not classes.
Such constructors may be factory functions or class instances.
.. function:: constructor(object)
Declares *object* to be a valid constructor. If *object* is not callable (and
hence not valid as a constructor), raises :exc:`TypeError`.
.. function:: pickle(type, function[, constructor])
Declares that *function* should be used as a "reduction" function for objects of
type *type*; *type* must not be a "classic" class object. (Classic classes are
handled differently; see the documentation for the :mod:`pickle` module for
details.) *function* should return either a string or a tuple containing two or
three elements.
The optional *constructor* parameter, if provided, is a callable object which
can be used to reconstruct the object when called with the tuple of arguments
returned by *function* at pickling time. :exc:`TypeError` will be raised if
*object* is a class or *constructor* is not callable.
See the :mod:`pickle` module for more details on the interface expected of
*function* and *constructor*.
Example
-------
The example below would like to show how to register a pickle function and how
it will be used:
>>> import copy_reg, copy, pickle
>>> class C(object):
... def __init__(self, a):
... self.a = a
...
>>> def pickle_c(c):
... print("pickling a C instance...")
... return C, (c.a,)
...
>>> copy_reg.pickle(C, pickle_c)
>>> c = C(1)
>>> d = copy.copy(c)
pickling a C instance...
>>> p = pickle.dumps(c)
pickling a C instance...
