Unlike pickle, which produces binary data, renew generates pure Python code that can be read, edited, and imported as a module. You define a class inheriting from renew.Mold, ensure its __init__ arguments are stored as same-named attributes, and renew automatically generates a reproducible __repr__. You can then call renew.serialize() to write object graphs to a Python file with proper imports and formatting.\n\nThe main constraint is structural: your class must store constructor arguments as attributes with matching names, and variadic/keyword arguments must be stored in specific container types (tuple, list, set, OrderedDict for args; dict or OrderedDict for kwargs). This design trades flexibility for transparency\u2014the resulting code is human-readable and can serve as a lightweight alternative to pickle for scenarios where you want to inspect or manually edit serialized state.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2019-06-03) with no ongoing maintenance. While it has no known vulnerabilities and low install friction, the lack of updates means it will not receive bug fixes or compatibility patches for newer Python versions.
