.. module:: marshal :synopsis: Convert Python objects to streams of bytes and back (with different constraints).
This module contains functions that can read and write Python values in a binary format. The format is specific to Python, but independent of machine architecture issues (e.g., you can write a Python value to a file on a PC, transport the file to a Sun, and read it back there). Details of the format are undocumented on purpose; it may change between Python versions (although it rarely does). [1]
.. index:: module: pickle module: shelve
This is not a general "persistence" module. For general persistence and transfer of Python objects through RPC calls, see the modules :mod:`pickle` and :mod:`shelve`. The :mod:`marshal` module exists mainly to support reading and writing the "pseudo-compiled" code for Python modules of :file:`.pyc` files. Therefore, the Python maintainers reserve the right to modify the marshal format in backward incompatible ways should the need arise. If you're serializing and de-serializing Python objects, use the :mod:`pickle` module instead -- the performance is comparable, version independence is guaranteed, and pickle supports a substantially wider range of objects than marshal.
Warning
The :mod:`marshal` module is not intended to be secure against erroneous or maliciously constructed data. Never unmarshal data received from an untrusted or unauthenticated source.
.. index:: object; code, code object
Not all Python object types are supported; in general, only objects whose value is independent from a particular invocation of Python can be written and read by this module. The following types are supported: booleans, integers, floating point numbers, complex numbers, strings, bytes, bytearrays, tuples, lists, sets, frozensets, dictionaries, and code objects, where it should be understood that tuples, lists, sets, frozensets and dictionaries are only supported as long as the values contained therein are themselves supported. The singletons :const:`None`, :const:`Ellipsis` and :exc:`StopIteration` can also be marshalled and unmarshalled. For format version lower than 3, recursive lists, sets and dictionaries cannot be written (see below).
There are functions that read/write files as well as functions operating on bytes-like objects.
The module defines these functions:
.. function:: dump(value, file[, version]) Write the value on the open file. The value must be a supported type. The file must be a writeable :term:`binary file`. If the value has (or contains an object that has) an unsupported type, a :exc:`ValueError` exception is raised --- but garbage data will also be written to the file. The object will not be properly read back by :func:`load`. The *version* argument indicates the data format that ``dump`` should use (see below).
.. function:: load(file) Read one value from the open file and return it. If no valid value is read (e.g. because the data has a different Python version's incompatible marshal format), raise :exc:`EOFError`, :exc:`ValueError` or :exc:`TypeError`. The file must be a readable :term:`binary file`. .. note:: If an object containing an unsupported type was marshalled with :func:`dump`, :func:`load` will substitute ``None`` for the unmarshallable type.
.. function:: dumps(value[, version]) Return the bytes object that would be written to a file by ``dump(value, file)``. The value must be a supported type. Raise a :exc:`ValueError` exception if value has (or contains an object that has) an unsupported type. The *version* argument indicates the data format that ``dumps`` should use (see below).
.. function:: loads(bytes) Convert the :term:`bytes-like object` to a value. If no valid value is found, raise :exc:`EOFError`, :exc:`ValueError` or :exc:`TypeError`. Extra bytes in the input are ignored.
In addition, the following constants are defined:
.. data:: version Indicates the format that the module uses. Version 0 is the historical format, version 1 shares interned strings and version 2 uses a binary format for floating point numbers. Version 3 adds support for object instancing and recursion. The current version is 4.
