Stop caching propnames?
michael-k opened this issue · 1 comments
I've noticed in troposphere that with self.propnames = props.keys()
the object can no longer be pickled.

Does
AWSObject
need to be able to be pickled? -
Is it even necessary to cache the keys?
name in self.props
(.keys()
is not necessary) should be just as fast asname in self.propnames
.
I don't see a reason for caching here.
See b4e4008#diff-7026bda438cf5fffa3496ee838ea9504d1962b37c3e1c573f34b09ebe4b4588cL21-R21
Our code uses deepcopy
to create copies of Troposphere templates (including any awacs statements) that can be safely mutated for various purposes. Removing list()
breaks this functionality for us (because of the pickling issue). Is it possible to restore the list
call, or else get rid of the cache altogether as @michael-k suggests above?
