[Python-checkins] python/nondist/sandbox/datetime picklesize.py,NONE,1.1

[tim_one@users.sourceforge.net]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/nondist/sandbox/datetime
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv26946

Added Files:
	picklesize.py 
Log Message:
New program just to display pickle sizes.  This makes clear that the
copy_reg based C implementation is much more space-efficient in the
end than the __getstate__/__setstate__ based Python implementation,
but that 4-byte date objects still suffer > 10 bytes of overhead each
no matter how many of them you pickle in one gulp.

It also makes clear a bug in timedelta:  str() doesn't work the same
across the implementations.
