'How to preserve args for unpickling object without storing them
I have a class with the following
def __init__(self, foo, **kwargs):
self._foo = foo
self._bar = []
# transform foo to become bar
I want to pickle and then unpickle an object of this class and have implemented the __reduce__ method to allow me to do this:
def __reduce__(self):
return self.__class__, (self._foo,)
Ideally I wouldn't want to save foo as an instance variable and would only be using bar, the transformed version of foo. Is there a way that would allow me to unpickle the object using the original args without having to store foo? Perhaps moving the creation of _bar to another method?
