I'm trying to store a mutable object in a postgresql database using SqlAlchemy. The class of the object is roughly:
class Data(Mutable, object):
@classmethod
def coerce(cls, key, value):
return value
def __init__(self, foo, bar):
self._foo = foo # foo is an array of short strings
self._bar = bar # bar is a single short string
def append_to_foo(self, baz):
self._foo.append(baz)
self.changed()
# Various other methods for mutating/accessing foo and bar, which call self.changed()
# when they finish
The column definition is:
data = Column(Data.as_mutable(PickleType))
Whenever I try to add a row to the table including this column, I get the following error:
sqlalchemy.exc.StatementError: (builtins.AttributeError) Can't pickle local object 'WeakKeyDictionary.__init__.<locals>.remove' [SQL: "INSERT INTO table (id, user_id, data) VALUES (nextval('data_id_seq'), %(user_id)s, %(data)s) RETURNING data.id"] [parameters: [{'data': <mypkg.foo.Data object at 0x7f79b3b52c88>, 'user_id': 36}]]
I've made sure that the Data
class itself is pickleable using the Python prompt; I can pickle.dumps
and pickle.loads
instances with no issues. Google produces no results, and I couldn't find any relevant bug reports.
I'm using SqlAlchemy 1.0.13 and Python 3.5.
From reading "Supporting Pickling" it would seem you must provide at least the __getstate__
method for custom mutable types:
The developer responsibility here is only to provide a
__getstate__
method that excludes the_parents()
collection from the pickle stream:
This is because the mutable extension places a weakref.WeakKeyDictionary
upon the value object, which cannot be pickled. A minimal __getstate__
implementation is provided in the documentation:
class Data(Mutable, object):
...
def __getstate__(self):
d = self.__dict__.copy()
d.pop('_parents', None)
return d
Depending on how your type is implemented you may have to provide __setstate__
as well.
