fnpickle

astropy.io.misc.fnpickle(object, fileorname, usecPickle=astropy.utils.exceptions.NoValue, protocol=None, append=False)[source] [edit on github]

Pickle an object to a specified file.

Parameters:
object

The python object to pickle.

fileorname : str or file-like

The filename or file into which the object should be pickled. If a file object, it should have been opened in binary mode.

protocol : int or None

Pickle protocol to use - see the pickle module for details on these options. If None, the most recent protocol will be used.

append : bool

If True, the object is appended to the end of the file, otherwise the file will be overwritten (if a file object is given instead of a file name, this has no effect).
