A friend at work who is new to Python wondered why this didn't work with pickle:
class Outer:
Class Inner:
...
def __init__(self):
self.i = Outer.Inner()I explained:
http://docs.python.org/library/pickle.html#what-can-be-pickled-and-unpickled
From that: # functions defined at the top level of a module # built-in functions defined at the top level of a module # classes that are defined at the top level of a module
I've never questions this, but I wonder, is this a fundamental restriction or could it be overcome with a modest amount of work?
Just curious...
