@ -37,12 +37,14 @@ supports a substantially wider range of objects than marshal.
Not all Python object types are supported; in general, only objects whose value
is independent from a particular invocation of Python can be written and read by
this module. The following types are supported: ``None``, integers, long
integers, floating point numbers, strings, Unicode objects, tuples, lists, sets,
dictionaries, and code objects, where it should be understood that tuples, lists
and dictionaries are only supported as long as the values contained therein are
themselves supported; and recursive lists and dictionaries should not be written
(they will cause infinite loops).
this module. The following types are supported: booleans, integers, long
integers, floating point numbers, complex numbers, strings, Unicode objects,
tuples, lists, sets, frozensets, dictionaries, and code objects, where it should
be understood that tuples, lists, sets, frozensets and dictionaries are only
supported as long as the values contained therein are themselves supported; and
recursive lists, sets and dictionaries should not be written (they will cause
infinite loops). The singletons :const:`None`, :const:`Ellipsis` and
:exc:`StopIteration` can also be marshalled and unmarshalled.
