[Boost-users] Boost.python serialization

Thank you for the help.  I have seen that link (the one you supplied)
before, but I posted my question because that link in particular does
not mention the words "Boost.Serialization" or "Archive" at all.  I
suppose what I was really getting at, and was probably not very clear
about (sorry :| ) was whether the specific approach (by N. Becker) of
using a stringstream wrapped with a boost::archive::binary_oarchive is a
standard idiom.  (Basically, I would have thought that "python  pickle
boost::archive" would be a million-hit Google query, but it's only about
a dozen.  I find that weird.  Do people just not serialize their C++
extensions very often?)

Thanks again.  I really appreciate the help.

Yes.  http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/pickle.html
