However, this is also gives it the power to serialize almost any Python object, without any boilerplate or even white-/black-listing (in the common case). That’s very desirable for some use cases: Quick & easy serialization, for example for pausing and resuming a … Read more

Can I pickle a python dictionary into a sqlite3 text field?

I needed to achieve the same thing too. I turns out it caused me quite a headache before I finally figured out, thanks to this post, how to actually make it work in a binary format. To insert/update: pdata = cPickle.dumps(data, cPickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL) curr.execute(“insert into table (data) values (:data)”, sqlite3.Binary(pdata)) You must specify the second argument … Read more
