Allows you to store variables and objects quickly and easily, inspired by the "save" and "load" functions in MathWorks MATLAB.
To save two variables a and b, first, writing the following wrapper is advisable:
from quickle import qsave
save = lambda filename, *args: qsave(globals(), locals(), filename, *args)
Then use save exactly as used in MATLAB, except replacing he .mat file extension with .pkl, e.g.:
a = 1
b = [1, 2, 3]
save('save_name.pkl', 'a', 'b', nocompression=False)
This pickles the variables/objects in save_name.pkl. The keyword argument nocompression (default False) will disable BZ2 file compression if True.
The method to load saved objects is different to MATLAB, as the called objects have to be explicitly assigned to variables. But, otherwise the process is the same; provide the file name and the names of the objects to be loaded:
from quickle import load
a, b = load('save_name.pkl', 'a', 'b')
The file will automatically be decompressed if required.
Congrats, you've just quickled some objects!
