Deprecate the Parameter attribute pickle_default_value? #1007
Labels
status: discussion
Discussion. Not yet a specific feature/bug. Likely to result in multiple PRs/issues.
Milestone
pickle_default_value
is defined as follows:and set to
False
(True
by default) inresolve_path.search_paths
andresolve_path.path_to_file
. It has been in Param since at least its first commit on Github.However, Param doesn't make any direct use of it internally, i.e. pickling a Parameterized object will not take into account its value, users have to write custom. The only usage I could find of it on Github is in topographica (https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aioam%2Ftopographica%20pickle_default_value&type=code). There are no references to this Parameter attribute in Param's own issues or PRs (https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aholoviz%2Fparam+pickle_default_value&type=issues).
I would suggest deprecating this Parameter attribute.
