Sending Objects With Pickle

[farshizzo]

Hi,

Is this object a class instance that you created? If it is then you need to override the __getstate__ and __setstate__ functions in order to bypass pickling of the webCam object. Here is an example:

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self):
        self.webCam = 0
        self.variable = 'something'

    def __getstate__(self):
        odict = self.__dict__.copy() # copy the dict since we change it
        del odict['webCam']          # remove webCam variable
        return odict

    def __setstate__(self,dict):
        self.webCam = 0              # initialize webCam object since it won't be in dict
        self.__dict__.update(dict)   # update attributes
