[serialization] + [boost.python] serialization of python object

I think we're a little ways off from that. If you want to get started now take a look Plugin Archive Adaptor in the manual section "Future Directions" Robert Ramey

Why would you do that when you can use pickle? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

It would be nice to have an automatic mechanism for serializing the wrapped C++ objects. As it stands I have to manually define the pickle support for each wrapped C++ type. In practice it is not a big deal, though, at least not with my usage patterns. Most of my wrapped types are never pickled. The only major effort was to implement efficient pickling of large arrays. Going off on a tangent: does the boost serialization library have support for portable serialization of large arrays (e.g. std::vector<double>)? Ralf __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
