Python in a Nutshell

Name

Unpickler

Synopsis

Unpickler(fileobj)

Creates and returns an object u such that calling u .load is equivalent to calling function load with the fileobj argument value passed to Unpickler. To deserialize many objects from a file, Unpickler is more convenient and faster than repeated calls to function load. You can subclass pickle.Unpickler to override Unpickler methods (particularly the method persistent_load) and create your own persistence framework. However, this is an advanced issue, and is not covered further in this book.
