Package Flatten
Flatten
Flatten is a serialization library which implements a secure binary
transport mechanism for Python objects. The library was designed with
security considerations in mind, working around Pickle's shortcomings,
especially concerning creation of classes, and giving several other
gimmicks which Pickle cannot handle. Please see the documentation in
the Flatten module for an in detail explanation of the mechanisms this
library uses.
As I am no security expert, there may be pitfalls which I am not aware
of, but feel free to mail me any shortcomings, and you can be sure that
I'll fix them, as I plan on supporting this module for longer.
