dump(obj) Write the pickled representation of obj to the open file object given in the constructor.
python.library.pickle#pickle.Pickler.dump
fast Deprecated. Enable fast mode if set to a true value. The fast mode disables the usage of memo, therefore speeding the pickling process by not generating superfluous PUT opcodes. It should not be used with self-referential objects, doing otherwise will cause Pickler to recurse infinitely. Use pickletools.optimize...
python.library.pickle#pickle.Pickler.fast
persistent_id(obj) Do nothing by default. This exists so a subclass can override it. If persistent_id() returns None, obj is pickled as usual. Any other value causes Pickler to emit the returned value as a persistent ID for obj. The meaning of this persistent ID should be defined by Unpickler.persistent_load(). Note ...
python.library.pickle#pickle.Pickler.persistent_id
reducer_override(self, obj) Special reducer that can be defined in Pickler subclasses. This method has priority over any reducer in the dispatch_table. It should conform to the same interface as a __reduce__() method, and can optionally return NotImplemented to fallback on dispatch_table-registered reducers to pickle...
