From #57, when a file is dumped, then the file is deleted... then pickled file is loaded… and the file_mode is not such that the entire file was pickled (e.g. just the file handle was pickled), a new name is needed. Should it be os.devnull
? Look for what python does for similar cases, if possible.

For larger examples this swamps my screen. It doesn't seem to happen during normal execution. Perhaps this is going out to stderr?
This is a corner-case, I think... but important for sympy. See comments after the closure of issue #5.

Downloading/unpacking dill
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dill (from versions: 0.2a1, 0.2a1, 0.1a1)
Cleaning up...
No distributions matching the version for dill
Maybe I'm doing something overly naive. This is what I as a novice user would expect to work though.
As mentioned on stackoverflow picloud has an impressive picklers that handle numpy objects closures and a lot of other clever tricks that seem to be on the dill TODO list. and it is available under reasonably permissive licensing. Moreover, since picloud is shutting down, it is a propitious time to negotiate alternative licensing. And I can't see any mention of it in the commit logs for dill, so it it seems worth mentioning it here or the pathos tracker - I don't have an account on the pathos tracker, so I can't raise a ticket there.
Depending, of course, on coding conventions and methods, it might save some time for the dill project.
The code appears only to be available as a tarball -- creating a free picloud.com account may be required? but the LGPL conditions are clearly stated therein, so re-use if permissible, although it may not fit entirely with the modified BSD licence of dill.
use getsource(func)
and getsource(freevars(func))
to get closure code
Looks like three possible combinations are all is needed. Should test if will ever find more than one function in freevars(func)
Works when doit
and squared
are defined in a file. Misidentifies squared
when they are built in the interpreter.
>>> doit = lambda f: lambda x: f(x)**2
>>> @doit
... def squared(x):
... return x
...
dill.source
methods should only spawn new objects in the calling namespace for those that are specifically requested. For example, the following code introduces f
, when all that was desired was bar
. The code should be "enclosed" in a dummy closure, if nothing else.
>>> def foo(f):
... def bar(x):
... return f(x)+x
... return bar
...
>>> import math
>>> zap = foo(math.sin)
>>> import dill
>>> print dill.source.importable(zap)
from math import sin as f
def bar(x):
return f(x)+x
Importing dill
registers pickling handlers. Is it bad behavior that dill
cannot be imported without side-effects on another module?
This could lead to subtle bugs, when one library does
import dill as pickle # only needs dill
while another library uses standard pickle
and perhaps relies in
some way on the fact that some objects cannot be pickled.
What about this:
import dill
dill.register_with_pickle()
When using full class pickling (e.g. cls.__module__ = '__main__'
), pickling
dynamically generated class methods fails with maximum recursion depth exceeded
Looks like a separate issue from #56. Maybe due to handling of the circular references?
Class.__dict__ --> method ; method.im_class --> Class

import dill
import types
def proto_method(self):
pass
def make_class(name):
cls = type(name, (object,), dict())
setattr(cls, 'methodname', types.MethodType(proto_method, None, cls))
globals()[name] = cls
return cls

NewCls = make_class('NewCls')

I believe inspect.getsource
retrieves code blocks with decorators on decorated functions, however dill.source.getblocks
doesn't. It should, or at least have the option to do so.
Additionally, there should be an option to return 'enclosing' code (i.e. just the inner function, or the enclosing block as well).
Running a frozen Python application (frozen using cx_Freeze) on Windows throws the error "NameError: name 'exit' is not defined" at at dill.py
line 133.
ExitType = type(exit)
This line is reached (as I understand it) any time the import of dill is not in an IPython shell. Why it only errors when frozen is unclear to me. However, changing this line to:
ExitType = type(sys.exit)
...appears to solve the problem.
I noticed that the version installed via pip install dill
(I think 0.1) is broken. The github version seems to work. Any plans on making a new pypi release soon?
I've not been able to reproduce this, but I did observe a interpreter session where there were two lambdas built… and then dill.dump_session
/ dill.load_session
was used… that dill.source.getsource
picked up the wrong lambda. Attempts to reproduce this erroneous behavior in a less adhoc way have been unsuccessful.
There's a bug (I'm sure more than one) so that when you make a closure with a lambda as the inner function (as in foo
below), dill.source.importable(bar)
will puke out the entire history file. So that's not good. The following code reproduces the error.
>>> def foo(f):
... squared = lambda x: f(x)**2
... return squared
...
>>> @foo
... def bar(x):
... return 2*x
>>>
>>> print dill.source.importable(bar)
dill.source.getsource(some_function, enclosing=True) appears to return incorrect output when called from within an IPython terminal or Notebook session. The results differ from that of an ordinary Python terminal.
I'm running Python 2.7.7 |Anaconda 2.0.1 (64-bit)| (default, Jun 11 2014, 10:40:02) [MSC v.1
500 64 bit (AMD64)] on Windows 7 professional.
I would like to generate new classes programatically at runtime using type()
, then serialize these (for use on other computers on a cluster). Is there a way to get dill to pickle these?
Strangely, the classes seem to pickle ok if this is done by the __main__
module, but not any other module. minimal test:
classmaker.py:
import dill
def f():
cls = type('NewCls', (object,), dict())
print(dill.pickles(cls))
if __name__ == "__main__":
f()
consumer.py:
import classmaker
classmaker.f()
running these:
$ python classmaker.py
True
$ python consumer.py
False
In the second case the pickling exception is: Can't pickle <class 'classmaker.NewCls'>: it's not found as classmaker.NewCls
dump_session() seems to fail when used with ipython notebook set up for inline plots. When the %matplotlib inline
magic is used you get a traceback resulting in
PicklingError: Can't pickle 'RendererAgg' object: <RendererAgg object at 0x42a2bb8>
and when using the --pylab=inline
option at start up you get a traceback resulting in
PicklingError: Can't pickle <class 'matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot'>: it's not found as matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot
Using Dill 0.2a.dev, ipython 1.1.0
Generally it's more robust to pickle new-style classes by reference (as pickle does), except in the cases when the class definition is changing (or being deleted)… dill serializes the class definition instead of using a reference. However, for some cases, it may be better to serialize by reference -- the pickle is also much smaller. It would be good to be able to select how the new-style class is serialized.
Load of a pickled file handle can create a file. Is that what is desired? If so, what should the file-pointer position in the file be? Right now, the state of the file is preserved, as well as the mode and the position. Here are the consequences...

This indicates that dill
is actually serializing more than the file handle, it's in essence serializing the file, but with "filler" if it's creating a new file and the position is greater than zero. Is that the desired behavior? Or better if a new file is created, the position be reset with seek(0)
? Or better that if the file doesn't exist, the file handle be closed?
Pickles of functions (and pickles of things that contain functions, like classes) are not quite deterministic---they depend on iteration order of the _reverse_typemap
inside dill.py. Depending on the order, either the symbol "LambdaType" or "FunctionType" will be used to represent functions. Either will work as far as unpickling goes, but having different representations of the same value can cause trouble with e.g. caching.
While most invocations of Python 2.x yield the same iteration order for _reverse_typemap
, use of the -R flag (recommended for user-facing services; c.f. http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2011-003.html) randomizes this order.
Note that the functionality of -R is on by default for versions >= 3.3:

functions include __dict__
in their pickles, so dynamically added attributes are also serialized. Should this feature be added to other types of objects?

I have a crash in both versions of python with the lastest source which looks like:

It looks like something to do with pickling the __code__
attribute, then repickling it when doing the __globals__
attribute, as if you comment out the __globals__
attribute in dill.py, there is no crash (just an incomplete pickle, presumably).
dill.source.getsource
is pretty good about getting the source for imported and interactively defined function, lambdas, and class methods. It'd be nice to get the source code for classes and class instances and such. Currently, assumes the inspected object has a func_code
attribute.
The code to do this is obvious, but do it with ctypes, so dill still builds pure python.
If I use this script to serialize something:
import pandas as pd
import dill
def func(x):
return pd.DataFrame({'a' : x})
def func2(x):
return func(x) + func(x)
with open("out.dill", "w+") as f:
dill.dump(func2, f)
And load it with:
import dill
with open("out.dill") as f:
func2 = dill.load(f)
print func2([1,2,3,4,5])
I get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "read_test.py", line 6, in <module>
print func2([1,2,3,4,5])
File "write_test.py", line 8, in func2
return func(x) + func(x)

What is the intention for how the user should handle this?
Thanks
add tutorial to cover major features; should be built white-paper style to demonstrate solving a problem or set of problems
It will be easier to keep track of whether or not pull requests break anything if you test things with Travis. What test framework do you prefer to use to run the tests?
I'm not sure what kind of impact that might have if one would ignore an object... then expect to start up a session again and everything work. Maybe it's not up to dill
to care… and it's the user's problem if it blows things up in the dump/load of the session.

This could be fixed by deciding to pickle a module's __dict__
(https://github.com/uqfoundation/dill/blob/master/dill/dill.py#L763-L764) using a function like:
def _can_pickle_module(mod, _cache={}, _recursion_protection=[None]):
if _recursion_protection[0] is not None:
return mod is _recursion_protection[0]
if mod not in _cache:
_recursion_protection[0] = mod
try:
dumps(mod)
except:
_cache[mod] = False
else:
_cache[mod] = True
finally:
_recursion_protection[0] = None
return _cache[mod]
and the condition in save_module
being:
if _can_pickle_module(obj) or is_dill(pickler) and obj is pickler._main_module:
However, this approach is less efficient. This needs discussion.
When pickling functions defined inside of doctests, Dill seems to include additional objects in the function closure even if the function doesn't reference them. This can cause the pickling to fail if some of these unreferenced objects are unpicklable; this also adds bloat to the serialized function.
I'm one of the authors of PySpark, a Python API for the Spark cluster computing framework, and I'm trying to use Dill to replace our current function serializer. We're currently using PiCloud's cloudpickle library, which seems to handle these doctest cases properly; I'd like to switch to Dill because it seems to be more actively developed and handles some cases that cloudpickle doesn't handle properly.
Dill seems to work perfectly from the Python shell, but it's different behavior in doctests is causing our test suite to break (unpicklable Py4J-wrapped Java objects are included in closures, among other issues).
Here's a small standalone testcase that reproduces the issue on Python 2.7.5:
import dill as pickle
import doctest
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
class SomeUnreferencedUnpicklableClass(object):
def __reduce__(self):
raise Exception
unpicklable = SomeUnreferencedUnpicklableClass()
# This works fine outside of Doctest:
serialized = pickle.dumps(lambda x: x)
# This fails because it tries to pickle the unpicklable object:
def tests():
"""
>>> serialized = pickle.dumps(lambda x: x)
"""
return
print "\n\nRunning Doctest:"
doctest.testmod()
Here's the output, which shows that the unpicklable object is being included in the closure when running under doctest:

import time can be significantly reduced by not loading "dill.objects". I believe the easiest way is to convert the local imports of dill.objects to strings that will be "exec'd" upon call of load_types.
forked from question on issue #13.
Looks like when you import a subclassed numpy.ndarray, it only routes through the StockPickler.

I've been using dill via the direct dill.Pickler() and dill.Unpickler() interface. This was crashing because the normal constructors don't set dill.Pickler._main_module and dill.Unpickler._main_module. This seems unusual, and I'm wondering what the rational is for it.
I added the following init() methods to dill.Pickler and dill.Unpickler, and they seemed to solve my problem. Am I missing something here? Should this change be incorporated into the github repo?
### Extend the Picklers
class Pickler(StockPickler):
"""python's Pickler extended to interpreter sessions"""
dispatch = StockPickler.dispatch.copy()
_main_module = None
_session = False
pass
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
StockPickler.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self._main_module = _main_module
class Unpickler(StockUnpickler):
"""python's Unpickler extended to interpreter sessions and more types"""
_main_module = None
_session = False
def find_class(self, module, name):
if (module, name) == ('__builtin__', '__main__'):
return self._main_module.__dict__ #XXX: above set w/save_module_dict
return StockUnpickler.find_class(self, module, name)
pass
def __init__(self):
StockUnpickler.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self._main_module = _main_module
I'm encountering problems running doctests via python -m doctest
and nosetests --with-doctest
. This seems related to #18 (and also in PySpark, FWIW) but differs in that doctest.testmod()
executed inside the module doesn't trigger the problem. Sample code;
import dill
import doctest
def test_dill():
"""
>>> out = dill.dumps(lambda x: x)
"""
out = dill.dumps(lambda x: x)
doctest.testmod()
So when executed via python -m doctest
under Python 2.7.3, I get a long recursive stacktrace of save_module_dict and save_module calls, concluding with;

PicklingError: Can't pickle <class 'unittest.util.Mismatch'>: it's not found as unittest.util.Mismatch
I stumbled over a weird case where dill fails to serialize an object that pickle handles fine. I guess the issues has something to do with inheriting from a builtin type and the usage of super in overriding append
.
import pickle
import dill
class InheritsList(list):
"""docstring for InheritsList"""
def __init__(self):
super(InheritsList, self).__init__()
def append(self, obj):
super(InheritsList, self).append(obj)
obj = InheritsList()
obj.append('string')
# Works
repickled = pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(obj))
print repickled
# Does not work
redilled = dill.loads(dill.dumps(obj))
print repickled
It's related to an issue I posted here.
opencobra/cobrapy#72
Python 3 support would be great. I recommend using a single codebase. You just have to add a few compatibility definitions (or you can depend on six, but IMHO it's overkill).
I found another example where Dill fails to pickle objects when running under doctest. This is a one-line addition to my test-case in #18.
I'm using Python 2.7.6 and Dill eb122e6.
/cc @distobj
import dill as pickle
import doctest
pickle.dill._trace(1)
class SomeUnreferencedUnpicklableClass(object):
def __reduce__(self):
raise Exception
unpicklable = SomeUnreferencedUnpicklableClass()
# This works fine outside of Doctest:
serialized = pickle.dumps(lambda x: x)
# This fails because it tries to pickle the unpicklable object:
def tests():
"""
>>> unpicklable = SomeUnreferencedUnpicklableClass() # <-- Added since #18
>>> serialized = pickle.dumps(lambda x: x)
"""
return
print "\n\nRunning Doctest:"
doctest.testmod()

A pickle from a class with byref=False
can tend to be large -- the serializing function is _dict_from_dictproxy
. This often causes the pickle to contain things like copyright
-- at first glance, the contents looks as if it may be similar to __builtins__.__dict__
.
Would it be possible to reduce the size of the pickle for such a class, by removing any unnecessary items that are currently pickled?
Need to look at how decorators on classes pickle... see if there's any unexpected results. It 'works', but the objects in some cases don't seem to COPY correctly.
If you have a function like this:
@require("module_name")
def require_test(x):
return True
And you try to use IPython parallel's parallel map, you get this error:

But if you just use the regular pickle, it works fine. I have a minimal example here:
https://github.com/roryk/ipython-cluster-helper/blob/master/example/example.py
Do you have any thoughts about why? I dug around a bunch but quickly got out of my depth. :)
