problem with pickle and tkinter

Question

To learn tkinter I\'m making a simple Go game program. I now would like to be able to save a game using pickle, but when I try to pickle my GoBoardModel object

Answer 1

Yep, look into the __getstate__ method.

For example, if you want pickle to ignore the 'view' attribute, you'd do the following:

class Whatever(object):

  def __getstate__(self):
    state = self.__dict__.copy()
    del state['view']
    return state
