Method Details

get_marshalling_data(self)

Return marshalling data for my attributes.

To be implemented by derived classes.

The returned marshalling data is a dictionary object that
contains relatively anonymous data which represents the object
to be marshalled. The dictionary is composed by derived
classes and must look as follows:

::

   {
      'generating_class': <class object of generating object>,
      'versions': <versions of contributions>,
      'attributes': <dictionary with direct attributes key/value pairs>,
   }

Called indirectly by `__getstate__`.
