Dill provides the user the same interface as the @code{pickle} module, +and also includes some additional features. In addition to pickling Python +objects, @code{dill} provides the ability to save the state of an interpreter +session in a single command. Hence, it would be feasable to save a +interpreter session, close the interpreter, ship the pickled file to another +computer, open a new interpreter, unpickle the session and thus continue from +the saved state of the original interpreter session.") + (license license:bsd-3))) |
