It must only be used for small programs and it serves the purpose well.
- analog31 6y agoI use it for transferring stuff from a data collection program to a Jupiter notebook. It works quite well for that. Converting big numpy arrays to text and back again would be cumbersome.
- hansvm 6y agoIf all you're transferring is numpy arrays, they natively support an efficient, cross-platform, forward-compatible binary format that might work better for you.
- analog31 6y agoGood point, I'll look into that. Usually it's a mixture of things like numpy arrays and meta-data. I find it's easy to save a lot of stuff along with the data, that I might regret not having later on.
