    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `boolean` | `fast` | The undocumented attribute fast of the C version of cPickle disables memoization.
    `PyObject` | `inst_persistent_id` | Hmm, not documented, perhaps it shouldn't be public?
    `PyObject` | `persistent_id` | To write references to persistent objects, the persistent module must assign a method to persistent_id which returns either None or the persistent ID of the object.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### fast

          public boolean fast

      The undocumented attribute fast of the C version of cPickle disables memoization. Since having memoization on won't break anything, having this dummy setter for fast here won't break any code expecting it to do something. However without it code that sets fast fails(ie test_cpickle.py), so it's worth having.

    - #### persistent_id

          public PyObject persistent_id

      To write references to persistent objects, the persistent module must assign a method to persistent_id which returns either None or the persistent ID of the object. For the benefit of persistency modules written using pickle, it supports the notion of a reference to an object outside the pickled data stream. Such objects are referenced by a name, which is an arbitrary string of printable ASCII characters.

    - #### inst_persistent_id

          public PyObject inst_persistent_id

      Hmm, not documented, perhaps it shouldn't be public? XXX: fixme.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Pickler

          public Pickler​(PyObject file,
                         int protocol)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### dump

          public void dump​(PyObject object)

      Write a pickled representation of the object.
      Parameters:
        `object` - The object which will be pickled.
