gemseo.core.serializable module

The baseclass for serializable GEMSEO objects.

class Serializable

Bases: object

Base class to handle serialization of GEMSEO objects.

The methods __setstate__ and __getstate__ used by pickle to serialize and de-serialize objects are overloaded to handle Synchronized attributes. It is also possible to define the attributes that shall be ignored at serialization.

For the attributes that are ignored at serialization, it is necessary to handle the way they are retrieved and recreated by overloading __setstate__ and/or __getstate__ from the subclasses.
