This package backports all features and APIs added in the pickle
module in Python 3.8.3, including the PEP 574 additions. It should work with Python 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.
Basic usage is similar to the pickle
module, except that the module to be imported is pickle5
:
import pickle5 as pickle
pb = pickle.PickleBuffer(b"foo")
data = pickle.dumps(pb, protocol=5)
assert pickle.loads(data) == b"foo"
Detailed documentation can be found in PEP 574 and the standard pickle documentation.
