# persist.py
#
# Implement limited persistence.
#
# Simple interface:
#	persist.save()		save __main__ module on file (overwrite)
#	persist.load()		load __main__ module from file (merge)
#
# These use the filename persist.defaultfile, initialized to 'wsrestore.py'.
#
# A raw interface also exists:
#	persist.writedict(dict, fp)	save dictionary to open file
#	persist.readdict(dict, fp)	read (merge) dictionary from open file
#
# Internally, the function dump() and a whole bunch of support of functions
# traverse a graph of objects and print them in a restorable form
# (which happens to be a Python module).
#
# XXX Limitations:
# - Volatile objects are dumped as strings:
#   - open files, windows etc.
# - Other 'obscure' objects are dumped as strings:
#   - classes, instances and methods
#   - compiled regular expressions
#   - anything else reasonably obscure (e.g., capabilities)
#   - type objects for obscure objects
# - It's slow when there are many of lists or dictionaries
#   (This could be fixed if there were a quick way to compute a hash
#   function of any object, even if recursive)
