The current documentation for the pickle module (and related modules) is outdated and should be updated. For example, the section "Pickling and unpickling extension types" [1] is not only confusing, but outright wrong. For Python 2.6, the documentation of cPickle should be updated to reflect the differences between the cPickle and pickle.py modules. It would be also be appropriate to note that cPickle is pending removal and should not be used anymore. [1]: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/pickle.html#pickling-and-unpickling-extension-types |

[I just realized that dependencies in the tracker should go the other way around.] |

The new documentation for pickle in Python 3 fixes this. I still believe we should outline the differences between pickle.py and cPickle. But at this point, it's unlikely I will put the time to do it. Feel free to open a new issue if you want this to be done. |
