Different styles of persisted objects.
Class Ephemeral This type of object is never persisted; if possible, even references to it are eliminated.
Class Versioned This type of object is persisted with versioning information.
Function doUpgrade Undocumented
Function pickleMethod support function for copy_reg to pickle method refs
Function pickleModule support function for copy_reg to pickle module refs
Function pickleStringI Reduce the given cStringI.
Function pickleStringO Reduce the given cStringO.
Function requireUpgrade Require that a Versioned instance be upgraded completely first.
Function unpickleMethod Support function for copy_reg to unpickle method refs.
Function unpickleModule support function for copy_reg to unpickle module refs
Function unpickleStringI Convert the output of pickleStringI into an appropriate type for the current Python version.
Function unpickleStringO Convert the output of pickleStringO into an appropriate type for the current python version. This may be called on Python 3 and will convert a cStringIO into an io.StringIO.
Variable oldModules Undocumented
Variable upgraded Undocumented
Variable versionedsToUpgrade Undocumented
Function _aybabtu Get all of the parent classes of c, not including c itself, which are strict subclasses of Versioned.
Function _methodFunction Retrieve the function object implementing a method name given the class it's on and a method name.
Function _pickleFunction Reduce, in the sense of pickle's object.__reduce__ special method, a function object into its constituent parts.
Function _unpickleFunction Convert a function name into a function by importing it.

def pickleMethod(method): (source)
support function for copy_reg to pickle method refs
def pickleModule(module): (source)
support function for copy_reg to pickle module refs
def pickleStringI(stringi): (source)

Reduce the given cStringI.

This is only called on Python 2, because the cStringIO module only exists on Python 2.

Parameters
stringi:cStringIO.InputTypeThe string input to pickle.
Returns
2-tuple of (function, (bytes, int))a 2-tuple of (unpickleStringI, (bytes, pointer))
def pickleStringO(stringo): (source)

Reduce the given cStringO.

This is only called on Python 2, because the cStringIO module only exists on Python 2.

Parameters
stringo:cStringIO.OutputTypeThe string output to pickle.
def requireUpgrade(obj): (source)
Require that a Versioned instance be upgraded completely first.
def unpickleMethod(im_name, im_self, im_class): (source)
Support function for copy_reg to unpickle method refs.
Parameters
im_name:native strThe name of the method.
im_self:objectThe instance that the method was present on.
im_class:type or NoneThe class where the method was declared.
def unpickleModule(name): (source)
support function for copy_reg to unpickle module refs
def unpickleStringI(val, sek): (source)

Convert the output of pickleStringI into an appropriate type for the current Python version.

This may be called on Python 3 and will convert a cStringIO into an io.StringIO.

Parameters
val:bytesThe content of the file.
sek:intThe seek position of the file.
Returns
cStringIO.OutputType on Python 2, io.StringIO on Python 3.a file-like object which you can read bytes from.
def unpickleStringO(val, sek): (source)
Convert the output of pickleStringO into an appropriate type for the current python version. This may be called on Python 3 and will convert a cStringIO into an io.StringIO.
Parameters
val:bytesThe content of the file.
sek:intThe seek position of the file.
Returns
cStringIO.OutputType on Python 2, io.StringIO on Python 3.a file-like object which you can write bytes to.

Undocumented

def _aybabtu(c): (source)
Get all of the parent classes of c, not including c itself, which are strict subclasses of Versioned.
Parameters
ca class
Returns
list of classes
def _methodFunction(classObject, methodName): (source)
Retrieve the function object implementing a method name given the class it's on and a method name.
Parameters
classObject:typeA class to retrieve the method's function from.
methodName:native strThe name of the method whose function to retrieve.
Returns
types.FunctionTypethe function object corresponding to the given method name.
def _pickleFunction(f): (source)
Reduce, in the sense of pickle's object.__reduce__ special method, a function object into its constituent parts.
Parameters
f:types.FunctionTypeThe function to reduce.
Returns
2-tuple of callable, native stringa 2-tuple of a reference to _unpickleFunction and a tuple of its arguments, a 1-tuple of the function's fully qualified name.
def _unpickleFunction(fullyQualifiedName): (source)

Convert a function name into a function by importing it.

This is a synonym for twisted.python.reflect.namedAny, but imported locally to avoid circular imports, and also to provide a persistent name that can be stored (and deprecated) independently of namedAny.

Parameters
fullyQualifiedName:native strThe fully qualified name of a function.
Returns
types.FunctionTypeA function object imported from the given location.
