Pickling a gitlab-python result includes the auth details about python-gitlab HOT 3 CLOSED

Have you considered using asdict() instead of pickling?

Regarding the pickling:

As a note, if on each Project object you did project.manager.gitlab.private_token = "*masked*" before pickling, that would get rid of the token most likely.

But I have no idea how that will impact things when unpickling.

You can look at the pickle file with: python -m pickletools projects.pickle

Hi @JohnVillalovos, that does sound like a much better approach— it looks like it should be possible to then later do Project(attrs=that_dict, lazy=True)? Or maybe this should go through the GitLab object's ProjectManager somehow? Is there a demonstration of that?

Sorry, you are in uncharted territory on that. So I'm not sure.
