+--- Thread: Is Pickle (and/or cPickle) supported in XBMC? (/showthread.php?tid=4320)
- Alexpoet - 2004-06-25
i have a basic comm function i've written that pickles an object into a string, sends the length of the string over a socket (so the receiving socket knows how long to listen), and then sends the object string.
then the receiving function unpickles the string back into a python object.
this is incredibly convenient for server/client relationships over a network, where you can actually pass a python object from the server to the client (in this instance, an opened image object).
my problem is, when i try to send anything to my xbox using this comm function, i get an error from pickle saying the string isn't reliable.
i can get the exact error message over lunch. just checking to see if pickle is supposed to work in xbmc.

ack! nevermind.
it was "insecure string pickle," and the error just popped up on my pc test client, so it's probably not an xbmc thing.
