fipy.tools.dump

Functions

read(filename[, fileobject, communicator, ...])

Read a pickled object from a file.

write(data[, filename, extension, communicator])

Pickle an object and write it to a file.

fipy.tools.dump.read(filename, fileobject=None, communicator=DummyComm(), mesh_unmangle=False)

Read a pickled object from a file. Returns the unpickled object. Wrapper for cPickle.load().

Parameters:
  • filename (str) – Name of the file to unpickle the object from. If the filename extension is .gz, the file is first decompressed.

  • fileobject (file) – Used to remove temporary files

  • communicator (CommWrapper) – A duck-typed object with procID and Nproc attributes is sufficient

  • mesh_unmangle (bool) – Whether to correct improper pickling of non-uniform meshes (ticket:243)

fipy.tools.dump.write(data, filename=None, extension='', communicator=DummyComm())

Pickle an object and write it to a file. Wrapper for cPickle.dump().

Test to check pickling and unpickling.

>>> from fipy.meshes import Grid1D
>>> old = Grid1D(nx = 2)
>>> f, tempfile = write(old)
>>> new = read(tempfile, f)
>>> print(old.numberOfCells == new.numberOfCells)
True
Parameters:
  • data – Object to be pickled.

  • filename (str) – Name of the file to place the pickled object. If filename is None then a temporary file will be used and the file object and file name will be returned as a tuple. If the filename ends in .gz, the file is automatically saved in compressed gzip format.

  • extension (str) – File extension to append if filename is not given. If set to .gz, the file is automatically saved in compressed gzip format.

  • communicator (CommWrapper) – A duck-typed object with procID and Nproc attributes is sufficient
