Re: What use is '__reduce__'?

Show all headers | View raw

As you found by searching, __reduce__ is used to determine how
instances of the class are pickled. If the example you're using
doesn't do any pickling, then it's not really relevant to the example.
It's probably included so that it won't be missed when the code is
copied.
