Knowit not suited for pickling

[p0psicles]

Hi @ratoaq2
I'm having issues dogpiling knowit results, because it has al kinds of non-pickable objects, like datetime, Quantity, etc.

I'm currenlty trying dogpile with msgpack writing my own encoders. But it's really a hassle.

What would be your approach here?

One of the issues I have with the knowit results, is that the reporter is using different object reported by different providers. It would be really nice if this could be standardized. Any reason why this hasn't been done?

I still didn't get the different object reported by different providers

Check this: https://github.com/pymedusa/Medusa/pull/5135/files#diff-8dae95e92447489197bc2654f723edaeR106. You see that I already encode a number of non-pickable object types. Like for example babelfish.Language and from pint.quantity import _Quantity. Those are not generic dogpile reported objects. Which I would expect. I would expect that for Quantity it would always use this: from knowit.properties import Language, Quantity. But that's not the case.

I didn't make these up. I had to add them by trial an error. And it worked to some degree.

Unfortunately, i'm digging into something else right now. And this didn't have a very high prio for me at the time.

no_units is an option that's available since long time. That will get rid of pint Quantity

Aah thx. Then we can start dogpile cache the knowit results.
