"""Cerealizer -- A secure Pickle-like module

The interface of the Cerealizer module is similar to Pickle, and it supports
__getstate__, __setstate__, __getinitargs__ and __getnewargs__.

Cerealizer supports int, long, float, bool, complex, string, unicode, tuple, list, set, frozenset,
dict, old-style and new-style class instances. C-defined types are supported but saving the C-side
data may require to write e.g. a specific Handler or a __getstate__ and __setstate__ pair.
Objects with __slots__ are supported too.

You have to register the class you want to serialize, by calling cerealizer.register(YourClass).
Cerealizer can be considered as secure AS LONG AS the following methods of 'YourClass' are secure:
  - __new__
  - __del__
  - __getstate__
  - __setstate__
  - __init__ (ONLY if __getinitargs__ is used for the class)

These methods are the only one Cerealizer may call. For a higher security, Cerealizer maintains
its own reference to these method (exepted __del__ that can only be called indirectly).

Cerealizer doesn't aim at producing Human-readable files. About performances, Cerealizer is
really fast and, when powered by Psyco, it may even beat cPickle! Although Cerealizer is
implemented in less than 500 lines of pure-Python code (which is another reason for Cerealizer
to be secure, since less code means less bugs :-).

Compared to Pickle (cPickle):
 - Cerealizer is secure
 - Cerealizer achieves similar performances (using Psyco)
 - Cerealizer requires you to declare the serializable classes

Compared to Jelly (from TwistedMatrix):
 - Cerealizer is faster
 - Cerealizer does a better job with object cycles, C-defined types and tuples (*)
 - Cerealizer files are not Human readable

(*) Jelly handles them, but tuples and objects in a cycle are first created as _Tuple or
_Dereference objects; this works for Python classes, but not with C-defined types which
expects a precise type (e.g. tuple and not _Tuple).



IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS

GENERAL FILE FORMAT STRUCTURE

Cerealizer format is simple but quite surprising. It uses a "double flat list" format.
It looks like that :

  <magic code (currently cereal1)>\\n
  <number of objects>\\n
  <classname of object #0>\\n
  <optional data for creating object #0 (currently nothing except for tuples)>
  <classname of object #0>\\n
  <optional data for creating object #0 (currently nothing except for tuples)>
  [...]
  <data of object #0 (format depend of the type of object #1)>
  <data of object #0 (format depend of the type of object #1)>
  [...]
  <reference to the 'root' object>

As you can see, the information for a given object is splitted in two parts, the first one
for object's class, and the second one for the object's data.

To avoid problems, the order of the objects is the following:

  <list, dict, set>
  <object, instance>
  <tuple, sorted by depth (=max number of folded tuples)>

Objects are put after basic types (list,...), since object's __setstate__ might rely on
a list, and thus the list must be fully loaded BEFORE calling the object's __setstate__.


DATA (<data of object #n> above)

The part <data of object #n> saves the data of object #n. It may contains reference to other data
(see below, in Cerealizer references include reference to other objects but also raw data like int).

 - an object           is saved by :  <reference to the object state (the value returned by object.__getstate__() or object.__dict__)>
                                      e.g. 'r7\\n' (object #7 being e.g. the __dict__).

 - a  list or a set    is saved by :  <number of item>\\n
                                      <reference to item #0>
                                      <reference to item #1>
                                      [...]
                                      e.g. '3\\ni0\\ni1\\ni2\\n' for [0, 1, 2]

 - a  dict             is saved by :  <number of item>\\n
                                      <reference to value #0>
                                      <reference to key #0>
                                      <reference to value #1>
                                      <reference to key #1>
                                      [...]


REFERENCES (<reference to XXX> above)

In Cerealizer a reference can be either a reference to another object beign serialized in the
same file, or a raw value (e.g. an integer).
 - an int              is saved by e.g. 'i187\\n'
 - a  long             is saved by e.g. 'l10000000000\\n'
 - a  float            is saved by e.g. 'f1.07\\n'
 - a  bool             is saved by      'b0' or 'b1'
 - a  string           is saved by e.g. 's5\\nascii' (where 5 is the number of characters)
 - an unicode          is saved by e.g. 'u4\\nutf8'  (where 4 is the number of characters)
 - an object reference is saved by e.g. 'r3\\n'      (where 3 means reference to object #3)
 -    None             is saved by      'n'
