Trying to render a large and (possibly very) unpicklable object to a file for later use.
No complaints on the dill.dump(file)
side:
In [1]: import echonest.remix.audio as audio
In [2]: import dill
In [3]: audiofile = audio.LocalAudioFile("/Users/path/Track01.mp3")
en-ffmpeg -i "/Users/path/audio/Track01.mp3" -y -ac 2 -ar 44100 "/var/folders/X2/X2KGhecyG0aQhzRDohJqtU+++TI/-Tmp-/tmpWbonbH.wav"
Computed MD5 of file is b3820c166a014b7fb8abe15f42bbf26e
Probing for existing analysis
In [4]: with open('audio_object_dill.pkl', 'wb') as f:
...: dill.dump(audiofile, f)
...:

But trying to load the .pkl
file:
In [1]: import dill
In [2]: with open('audio_object_dill.pkl', 'rb') as f:
...: audio_object = dill.load(f)

The AudioObject is much more complex (and large) than the class object
the above calls are made on (from SO answer), and I'm unclear as to whether I need to send a second argument via dill
, and if so, what that argument would be or how to tell if any approach to pickling is viable for this specific object.
Examining the object itself a bit:
In [4]: for k, v in vars(audiofile).items():
...: print k, v
...:
returns:
is_local False
defer False
numChannels 2
verbose True
