Class Hamster

source code

Simple container class with basic IO capabilities.

It is capable of storing itself in a file, or loading from a file using cPickle (optionally via zlib from compressed files). Any serializable object can be bound to a hamster to be stored.

To undig burried hamster use Hamster(filename). Here is an example:

>>> h = Hamster(bla='blai')
>>> h.boo = N.arange(5)
>>> h.dump(filename)
...
>>> h = Hamster(filename)

Since Hamster introduces methods dump, asdict and property 'registered', those names cannot be used to assign an attribute, nor provided in among constructor arguments.
