PEP 3154 introduced the MEMOIZE opcode which lowered the overhead of memoization compared to the PUT opcodes which were previously used. We should update pickletools.optimize to remove superfluous uses of this new opcode. |

I afraid this is not a feature, but a bug. pickletools.optimize() can produce invalid pickled data when *PUT and MEMOIZE opcodes are used. >>> import pickle, pickletools >>> p = b'\x80\x04]\x94(\x8c\x04spamq\x01\x8c\x03ham\x94h\x02e.' >>> pickle.loads(p) ['spam', 'ham', 'ham'] >>> pickletools.dis(p) 0: \x80 PROTO 4 2: ] EMPTY_LIST 3: \x94 MEMOIZE 4: ( MARK 5: \x8c SHORT_BINUNICODE 'spam' 11: q BINPUT 1 13: \x8c SHORT_BINUNICODE 'ham' 18: \x94 MEMOIZE 19: h BINGET 2 21: e APPENDS (MARK at 4) 22: .

Well, that can only happen if MEMOIZE and PUT are both used together, which won't happen with the Pickler classes we support. The easiest thing to do here is to disable pickletools.optimize on protocol 4. |

By the way, I was curious if there were many users of pickletools.optimize(), so I did a search and most matches seem to be copies of the stdlib source tree: http://code.ohloh.net/search?s=pickletools%20optimize&p=0&pp=0&fl=Python&mp=1&ml=1&me=1&md=1&ff=1&filterChecked=true |

Is it _documented_ that MEMOIZE and PUT can't be used together? If not, it should be documented; and pickletools dis() and optimize() should verify that this restriction is honored in their inputs. |

MEMOIZE and PUT can be used together. They just need to not step on each other toes when they write to the memo table. As specified by PEP 3154, the memo index used by MEMOIZE is the number of elements currently in the memo table. This obviously means functions like, pickletools.optimize, have to be more careful when they rewrite pickles. |

Ah, I almost forgot! I did implement the verification in pickletools.dis() for MEMOIZE: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2612ea573ff7/Lib/pickletools.py#l2420 |

Here is a patch which makes pickletools.optimize() to work with the MEMOIZE opcode. As side effect it also renumbers memoized values, this allows to use short BINPUT and BINGET instead of LONG_BINPUT and LONG_BINGET. |

Here is a patch which addresses Antoine's comments. Also added dis() output for binary example in comments. |
